Happiness is often linked to a distant moment that we would like to keep forever. Like Proust's famous madeleine, this herbal tea is created on a childhood memory, which comes back when turning the pages of a photo album: sweetness of apple, peach and rhubarb which meet the delicacy of verbena, hibiscus flowers and rosehip peel. To be enjoyed in the shade of an apple tree... when the weather is fine.
Verbena, apple, peach, rhubarb, hibiscus
It was Agnès, the house director, who one day suggested this idea: "What if we created a herbal tea like an Impressionist painting?" An infusion that wouldn't tell a single story, but a thousand summer impressions, laid down in small touches. She didn't want a simply good herbal tea, she wanted an emotion, a light, a sensation.
So, like a painter before a canvas, she began to compose. First, a touch of verbena, green and light, to evoke late afternoons in the garden, when the shadows gently descend on the foliage. Then the peach yellow, juicy, sweet, like the fruit we bite into in the August heat.
She added the tangy pink of rhubarb, playful and lively, to make the whole thing vibrate like a burst of laughter. Then the deep reds of hibiscus and rosehip, for their thirst-quenching freshness, like a sip of syrup after a run in the grass.
The apple, sweet and familiar, brought its calm, its roundness. And to finish, Agnès chose orange blossom, like a last pale ray of light passing through the curtains of a summer bedroom. She wasn't looking for perfect balance, but for a faithful emotion: that of a summer we would like to remember. Each ingredient is a color, each sip a brushstroke. Herbal tea can't be told: it's felt, like an impressionist canvas capturing the ephemeral.
With Tisane des Beaux Jours, Agnès painted a landscape because tea is an art.
Recipes and cocktails based on Tisane des Beaux Jours
Cold brewed, it becomes the ally of large summer tables, naps under the trees or shared end of day. It transforms into a refined granita, served by the spoonful with a slice of apple, or into a delicate aperitif, enhanced with a dash of white vermouth or a hint of sweet wine. An herbal tea that doesn't fear the seasons, nor bursts of laughter, and which celebrates the art of living in the sun.
