Autumn teas: which teas are best suited to this season?
Autumn is the perfect season to savor comforting teas that accompany the return of cooler weather and cozy moments. Woody, fruity, spicy, or indulgent notes characterize autumn teas, perfect for slowing down and pampering yourself. Intense black tea, smooth oolong, or spiced green teas offer a warm and sensory experience, enhanced by the iconic creations of Maison Betjeman & Barton.
Of the four seasons of the year, autumn is the one that invites softness, warmth, and the rediscovery of simple pleasures. Among these pleasures, hot drinks regain a prominent place in our daily lives. Tea becomes a true ally in facing the return of the cold.
Rediscover the comforting and warm flavors of a good cup of tea with autumn teas, seasonal beverages that extend the cozy experience during or after a cool day.
Why is autumn the ideal season for tea?
The drop in temperatures often signals the return of relaxing moments at home, with a blanket and a cup of tea in hand. Autumn thus creates an atmosphere conducive to relaxation and well-being, where tea warms the body and mind with its olfactory and gustatory richness.
Enjoy a delicious autumn tea to slow down and take time for yourself, with complete serenity, as part of a daily ritual designed to make you feel good.
The emblematic flavors of autumn teas
Comforting and warm aromas truly come into their own in autumn. Seasonal teas are distinguished by woody, floral, fruity, and spicy notes, guaranteeing a pleasant sensory experience at any time of day. Perfect for accompanying a gourmet break, they come in subtle blends that celebrate the authentic charm of autumnal nature: the scent of wood, the fragrance of ripe fruits, the enveloping warmth of sweet spices.
Essential this season, spices add a particular depth and richness to autumn teas. As for vanilla, caramel, or chocolate, they bring an extra touch of sweetness and indulgence to each cup enjoyed.
Black tea, oolong, green: which teas to favor in autumn?
Autumn is the best season of the year to try different varieties of teas. Here are our specialized House's suggestions for choosing an autumn tea that matches your desires and preferences.
Black tea, the star of cool days
A great classic of the season, black tea warms from the first sip thanks to its irresistible intensity.
To start the day off right, for example, enjoy Betjeman & Barton's Breakfast Royal, a blend of Chinese and Ceylonese black teas to be consumed plain or with a cloud of milk, English style.
Oolong tea, a mild and low-theine option
Mainly from Taiwan (Formosa), oolong tea can be enjoyed at any time of day due to its reduced theine content. It is recognized by its candied fruit notes.
Some alternatives to vary the pleasures in autumn
Green and white teas also fall into the category of autumn teas. If you are looking for a lighter alternative to black tea, try our Chai green tea, a medley of spices on an Indian tea base.
