Partnering with ACALA
Reimagining Rituals with Sparkling Tea in Fine Dining & Wine Culture
WanderlusTea is proud to serve as ACALA’s official brand ambassador in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, with a shared vision:
To elevate a curated sparkling tea as a refined, alcohol-free companion to gastronomy — one that belongs on tasting menus, in wine shops, and on celebratory tables.
What is ACALA?
ACALA is a fine, non-alcoholic sparkling tea, made to complement the culture of wine, not compete with it.
-

As the NOLO (No & Low Alcohol) market grows, so does the demand for drinks with integrity, complexity, and intention.
Tea — with its botanical richness, fermentation potential, and deep ritual history — is uniquely poised to redefine how we experience non-alcoholic drinks.
“Tea is versatile, layered, and ritualistic by nature. With the right fermentation, it becomes the bridge between flavour, ceremony, and conscious living.”
Martynas (Co-founder of ACALA)
ACALA embodies this bridge — creating a space where craft tea meets wine logic, and where non-alcoholic doesn’t mean less sophisticated.
