This green tea has been created by our shop in Bordeaux. You will find bits of sultana, aromas of grape, cannelé (typical pastry of Bordeaux), vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and is strewn with petals of safflower.
The Port de la Lune ('Port of the Moon') is the name given to the port of Bordeaux, due to the large meander shaped like a moon that the river Garonne draws. This is also the origin of the crescent moon that you can see of the Bordeaux coat of arms.
Bordeaux, before being a name for a great wine, was first a port, the Port of the Moon, so named for the graceful curve formed by the Garonne at this point. This ancient, almost mythological nickname evokes departing boats, cargoes of spices, and dreams loaded into the hold. It is this memory that Escale au Port de la Lune summons: that of a merchant and luminous Bordeaux, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also of a warm, elegant Bordeaux, faithful to its artisans and its culture of taste.
A tribute to Bordeaux's delicacies
This tea is also a tender nod to Southwestern pastries. The cannelé, a Bordeaux emblem, naturally finds its place here: through the vanilla and caramel notes, but also in the warm roundness of the whole, which evokes the sweetness of a snack by the river. The grape notes, meanwhile, pay homage to another specialty: the bouchon de Bordeaux. This small, soft candy, filled with macerated grapes, evokes the elegance of the end of a meal and the expertise of Bordeaux confectioners. The ginger, discreet but present, finally breathes an almost maritime liveliness, like a breeze picked up at the prow of an old sailing ship.
The Flavors Workshop on Stopover
Creating Escale au Port de la Lune was like imagining a gourmet break on a Bordeaux quayside, a travel journal on your knees, a half-open box of cannelés, a gentle breeze making the safflower leaves shiver in the cup. This tea tells the story of Bordeaux in a different way: through the memory of the stoves, the shadow of the vaults, the light on the cobblestones, the patient gestures of a craftsman of taste. A warm, comforting, and delicious tea, which invites you to stop over as much as to dream.
