Green tea from the garden

Inspired by a sun-kissed fruit

In the vast world of summer teas, melon is a rare find… and that's precisely what makes Thé du Jardin so charming, as unexpected as it is delicious. A unique infusion, born from a memory, a scent, a summer indulgence.

Provençal flavors and aromas

It is in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, perched between sky and garrigue, that our aromatherapist Didier likes to stay in the early days of summer. There, the warm season has its own rhythm: the air is slow and dense, heavy with verbena drying behind the shutters, ripe melon placed on the windowsills, and stones warmed by the sun.

A lover of artisanal ice cream, Didier has his favorite spot at a small, secluded ice cream shop, hidden between two honey-colored facades. It was there, on a sweltering afternoon, that he discovered a melon and verbena ice cream of striking elegance.

This duo suddenly became obvious to him. He found in it everything that summer has to offer: the sweetness of sun-ripened fruits, the vibrant freshness of herbs.
Creating a tea that captures this feeling then becomes obvious. And it is in the hushed calm of his Parisian workshop, a few days later, that Thé du Jardin is born, a tribute to the flavors of his summer.

Tea and food pairings

Garden Tea pairs wonderfully with a delicate melon tart, a verbena panna cotta, or lemon blossom shortbread cookies. It also complements beautifully a yellow fruit salad or an iced dessert made with almond milk and lime zest. Its natural vegetal character and fruity touch allow for both simple and subtle pairings.

Recipes using garden green tea

Cold-brewed, Thé du Jardin is a refreshing and crystal-clear beverage. As a granita, it boasts a crystalline texture, perfect for hot afternoons. Simply brew the tea, sweeten it lightly, then freeze it, fluffing it with a fork. For a more festive touch, imagine a frosted sundae, a few drops of white melon liqueur, a squeeze of lime for a touch of zest, and a splash of prosecco to add a sparkle. A few fresh verbena leaves, a lemon zest rolled like a ribbon… and you have a cocktail as exquisite to behold as it is to savor.
