Born in San Sebastián, AMA was conceived by two boundary-defying chefs at the forefront of global gastronomy, together with an artisanal vigneron. Their creation represents a radical rethinking of what a sophisticated drink can be.
Elegant. Complex. Terroir-driven.
It is a celebratory experience for the curious and the conscious—one that redefines what it means to share joyful, meaningful moments while raising a glass of natural bubbles.
Naturally fermented, using exclusive techniques inspired in the Ancestral “Pétillant Naturel” method, we use the finest terroir/specialty teas and herbs sourced from small scale family farms and pure spring water from the Basque Country. Dreamed up by two Signature Chefs from San Sebastián – at the avantgarde of global gastronomy – and an artisanal vigneron. Drink it chilled, 9-11º in a wine glass. As an aperitif, at the table, in a glass, redefining what it means to share joyful special moments and drink well.
We sought out people who share our passion for land and terroir. People who believe in sustainable and organic farming methods. People who support farmers that grow plants for flavour not output.
AMA® No.404 HAS BEEN HANDCRAFTED WITH VARIETY : Organic Ceylon Indulgashinna Tea & Elderberry
Naturally fermented, using exclusive techniques inspired in the ancestral -pétillant naturel- method, we use the finest terroir / specialty teas and herbs sourced from small
scale family farms and pure spring water from the Basque country. Drink it chilled, 9-11º in a wine glass. As an aperitif, at the table, in a glass, redefining what it means to share joyful special moments and drink well.
TASTING NOTES: A delicate salmon pink with fine, silky bubbles. Notes of wild strawberries and fresh raspberries open into leafy brightness, gentle minerality, and a clean, crisp acidity.
ORIGIN: Organic black tea, Indulgashinna Village, Uva province Sri Lanka
Harvested at 1,600-1,800 meters in the eastern highlands of Sri Lanka, this black tea comes from the pioneering Indulgashinna Village, the first in the country to be certified organic ‑1987 and biodynamic‑1999. The estate was established in 1984 and is located in the renowned Uva Province, known for its crisp climate and high-elevation terroirs that impart distinct aromatic complexity to the leaf. The estate’s summer-harvested “orange pekoe” grade tea is a wholeleaf Black tea, produced using traditional rolling and oxidation techniques. The result is a rich and expressive base infusion that delivers structure, brightness, and layers of warm spice and dried fruit tones to the finished beverage. Indulgashinna is also deeply committed to social and environmental sustainability, with fairtrade certification since 1992, an on-site school, retirement home, and numerous CSR initiatives benefitting over 2,100 members of the surrounding community. The project manages 274 hectares of organic tea gardens and 10 hectares of biodynamic coffee, producing around 200 tonnes of premium tea per year.

AMA® No.405 HAS BEEN HANDCRAFTED WITH VARIETY : Organic White tips & Green tea
Naturally fermented, using exclusive techniques inspired in the ancestral -pétillant naturel- method, we use the finest terroir / specialty teas and herbs sourced from small scale family farms and pure spring water from the Basque country. Drink it chilled, 9-11º in a wine glass. As an aperitif, at the table, in a glass, redefining what it means to share joyful special moments and drink well.
TASTING NOTES: Pale straw with gentle, persistent bubbles. Aromas of pear, violet, and papaya blend with soft bubblegum and white tea. On the palate: floral sweetness, candied fruit, and vibrant acidity.
ORIGIN: Chinese Organic White Tips tea, Cui Min
This organically grown white tea comes from the Qingshan peninsula, a remote and protected enclave in the heart of the Wuqiangxi reservoir, Hunan province. Rising to 750 metres above sea level, the plantation occupies a mountainous island accessible only by boat. Its isolation and absence of industrial activity have made it an ideal site for certified organic cultivation across 141 hectares of land. The community behind this tea is small and tightly connected: around 165 people live on the peninsula, with 85 working full-time or seasonally in tea cultivation and processing. Approximately 200 local households contribute during key phases of the harvest. The remoteness of the farm has fostered a self-sufficient agricultural model rooted in environmental stewardship and long-term sustainability. Qingshan operates under Fairbiotea guidelines, with Demeter and UTZ-trained managers, and has developed its own composting systems, livestock-based fertilisation, and on-site infrastructure for soil management. The project also supports education and local infrastructure, including access to the Xiaojiaqiao school for the children of tea-growing families. Cui min (also known as white tips) grows in a highland ecosystem defined by organic rigour, small-scale agriculture, and a sustained commitment to both land and people.

AMA® No. 540 HAS BEEN HANDCRAFTED WITH VARIETY : Organic Lemongrass
Naturally fermented, using exclusive techniques inspired in the ancestral -pétillant naturel- method, we use the finest terroir / specialty teas and herbs sourced from small scale family farms and pure spring water from the Basque country. Drink it chilled, 9-11º in a wine glass. As an aperitif, at the table, in a glass, redefining what it means to share joyful special moments and drink well.
TASTING NOTES: Pale yellow-green in colour, with crisp, persistent bubbles. Expressive notes of citrus leaf, lemongrass and green herbs open into hints of pine, lavender and aromatic resins. The palate is light and linear, with touches of dry hay, ginger and aniseed, finishing on a clean citrus sweetness and subtle herbal accent.
ORIGIN: Organic Lemongrass from Beira region, Portugal
This lemongrass is grown by Henrique Manso and Rosário Martins on a small organic farm in Portugal’s Beira interior region, near Castelo Branco. In 2008 Rosário and Henrique began cultivating herbs and edible flowers on eight hectares of land, two of which are now dedicated to organic aromatic crops. The farm sits in a transitional landscape between granite hills and Mediterranean vegetation, marked by dry summers and sharp winter contrasts. Lemongrass thrives in this environment, developing clean citrus oils and structured herbal tones. The couple follows low intervention, chemical-free farming, managing soil fertility with compost and harvesting each plant by hand at its peak. In the context of this beverage, their lemongrass brings focus and aromatic lift.
It sharpens the upper register of the profile, introducing green clarity and subtle bitterness. More than an accent, it plays a structural role, adding direction and aromatic tension to the whole.
The lemongrass is shaped by place and people, where agricultural knowledge and everyday care converge in precision.

AMA® No. 4 HAS BEEN HANDCRAFTED WITH VARIETY: GOLDEN LILY MILK OOLONG
1,5% Vol.
Naturally fermented, using exclusive techniques inspired in the ancestral -pétillant naturel- method, we use the finest terroir / specialty teas and herbs sourced from small scale family farms and pure spring water from the Basque country. Drink it chilled, 9-11º in a wine glass. As an aperitif, at the table, in a glass, redefining what it means to share joyful special moments and drink well.
TASTING NOTES: Light golden colour. Hints of caramel, milky tea and cooked chestnuts. Smooth bubbles, full-bodied and nicely rounded.
ORIGIN: Golden Lily Milk Oolong, Taitung, Taiwan.
This rare tea variety has milky and creamy aromas. It can be categorised as halfway between green and black tea, which is why it is occasionally known as blue tea. Cultivated west of Taitung, Taiwan.
ELABORATION: Once blended with local spring water and introduced to carefully selected yeast and bacteria cultures, the infusion begins its natural transformation. This delicate fermentation process demands both precision and patience a balance of science and intuition. From this tension, ama takes shape. Bottle-aged and ever evolving, it develops depth and finesse over time. It’s this quiet alchemy that defines ama: complex, living, and entirely its own.
AGING: AMA Impossible Pétillant Naturel is alive in the bottle, evolving with time. As it ages, the bubbles grow finer, the texture smoother, and the flavour deepens in complexity. Like a fine wine, ama continues to refine itself long after bottling, and can be cellared for years. Patience is rewarded with elegance.
PAIRINGS: Versatile and adaptable. Ideal with soft cheeses, pork loin, poultry or even bone marrow. It can also be enjoyed with dark chocolate or honey.
SERVE: Preferably at 9‑11 degrees in a white wine glass. Handle and open carefully to preserve the bubbles. The sediment (the small particles of lees resulting from fermentation) present in each bottle can be served or kept in the bottle.

Buy nowWith many years of experience as the head chef of fine dining restaurants, Dani had long been interested in the potential of Kombucha. Having built an entire career centred around the search for flavour, he knew the fermentation process could dramatically impact the drink’s structure, flavour profile and acidity, making it a natural partner to food. His network of restaurant contacts, entrepreneurship (Dani is co-founder of Bombyx Mori SL) and his own research, are now paving the way to a new category of haute kombuchas.
Ramon spent many years working in the R&D department of a fine dining restaurant and became passionate about natural yeasts and spontaneous fermentations as part of his experimentations. When a German kombucha enthusiast sent him his first scoby through the post, he started looking at the possibilities more radically and when some of his early bottles exploded after he inadvertently left them to age for several weeks, he realised aging was the key. Those that remained had reached the point of excellence he was looking for.
Sancho grew up playing among the vineyards of the 14th century Granja Remelluri estate in Rioja. His father purchased the vineyard in 1967 and from that day onwards the land never saw chemicals or artificial fertilizers, which led to his passion for artisanal, innovative and small-batch wines. His knowledge is invaluable in helping to create a premium Kombucha that is also accessible to a world market.
