Blue Mountain Green Tea - A Fruity and Floral Walk
After the success of ourBlue Mountainbased on black tea, it seemed natural to us to offer a more summery variation, while preserving its unique olfactory identity.
To imagineBlue Mountain Green, we chose a beautifulChinese Sencha green tea, with supple and shiny leaves, without the slightest astringency, offering a fresh and soft vegetal framework. On this basis, we have taken the emblematic notes of its elder: the woody intensity of thewild strawberryand the juicy acidity of therhubarb.
To the eye, large, bright green leaves, dotted with cornflower and sunflower petals, create a veritable botanical farandole. When infused, the rhubarb explodes in the mouth like a slowly simmering compote, soon softened by the sweet roundness of wild strawberry.
A Fresh Reinterpretation
It was in the heart of the Blue Mountains, in Australia, that Didier, the passionate creator of the House, found the inspiration for theBlue Mountain BlackA gourmet stop in theCandy Storefrom Leura, a small mountainside town, was the starting point for this aromatic creation. When we decided to offer a green tea version, it was a surprise. The ingredients remained the same, and yet...
The green base transformed the whole: brighter, more thirst-quenching, almost insolently fresh. A striking contrast with the black version, rounder, more indulgent.
During the blind tastings conducted by our flavorists, the majority of participants did not guess thatBlue Mountain GreenAndBlue Mountain Noirwere brother and sister… proof, if any were needed, that the choice of tea changes everything.
Sweet Accords: A Gentle Harmony
Perfect companion to fruity sweets,Blue Mountain Greengoes wonderfully with a mille-feuille, a floating island with red fruits, or even a crème brûlée topped with raspberry compote. Its floral freshness also enhances a crepe topped with wild berry coulis, or a light citrus dessert with wild strawberry jelly. Where theBlue Mountain Noirnaturally finds its place at breakfast, theBlue Mountain Green, lighter, can be enjoyed at any time of day, especially in an iced version, in a cold-infused carafe.
And why not in a cocktail?
Cold brewed, thisBlue Mountain GreenCombines with a dash of floral gin, a splash of rhubarb syrup, and a few drops of lime. Served over ice, garnished with fresh strawberries and sweet mint leaves, it offers the perfect balance of freshness, liveliness, and elegance. A summer cocktail par excellence.
