Four Red Berries

The birth of a fragrant delicacy

At the turn of the 1970s, France was awakening to a new form of refinement: that of the sublime everyday. In tea rooms as well as in family kitchens, taste became a terrain of audacity, invention, and sensuality. And soon, tea, until then reserved for an elite of connoisseurs, also became a medium for creativity.



In this era of novelty and emotion, Betjeman and Barton stands out as one of the pioneers of flavored teas. The challenge is bold: to transform a classic black tea into a veritable basket of red fruits, blending the lively freshness of redcurrant, the sweetness of strawberry, the roundness of raspberry, and the depth of cherry. A delicious and sensual bouquet, inspired by grandmother's jams as much as by fine perfumery creations.



But the secret to success also lies in the art of balance. At Betjeman and Barton, each flavor is carefully considered, nuanced, and finely crafted. In Quatre Fruits Rouges, no single note dominates: they blend, echo, and prolong each other like the instruments of a quartet. The careful selection of black teas, powerful yet supple, provides this composition with a noble, deep setting, upon which the red fruits gracefully flourish.
