A lifestyle down to the last detail
Settled in a light-filled studio in the 11th arrondissement, Savannah Jenkins, a young American cousin of the Ashford family (loyal to our house for over half a century) has made her balcony a green haven. Peppermint, lemon thyme, and purple basil thrive there in joyful disorder, forming a small hanging garden with scents from elsewhere. She learns the names of each plant in French, peels them with irresistible charm, and posts a photo of her steaming cup every morning, captioned with a simple#parismood.
Savannah, a lover of nature, never compromises on what she brews. She swears by green tea, her essential well-being, and has a true passion for bergamot, a passion born within the Ashford clan, but which she cultivates only in its freshest, most vegetal, and clearest form: in its green version, and nothing else.
Bergamot, among organic gardens
In the afternoon, she settles into the shared gardens by the canal, where sunflowers brush against the fences, stray cats weave between rows of tomatoes, and where ideas are cultivated as well as aromatic herbs. In the evening, she meditates, always in the company of a frosted glass ofEarl Grey Primeur, cold-infused. Sometimes she slips in a shiso leaf or a dash of yuzu juice, like a nod to the Japan she dreams of exploring. She sips this iced infusion, pure and subtle, in silence, facing the Parisian sky, which she captures against the light. She callsthata mindful moment.
The chords of a healthy queen
Savannah likes to pair her tea with vegan matcha banana bread, a lemon-almond cake made with spelt flour, or, on special occasions, a pear and ginger granita. Her green Earl Grey pairs wonderfully with low-sugar sweets, fresh fruit, and plant-based snacks.
On Sundays, she hosts tea parties on the roof of her building, where she offers tastings of homemade iced teas, organic melon slices, and Southern soul playlists.Earl Grey Primeurthen becomes the ambassador of his vision of the world: sunny, light, delicate, and fundamentally joyful.
