Green tea from the garden

The inspiration of a sunny fruit
In the large family of summer teas, melon is rarely invited... and that is 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 scents
It is in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, perched between sky and garrigue, that our flavorist Didier likes to stay at the beginning of summer. There, the hot season has its own rhythm: the air is slow and dense, heavy with verbena drying behind the shutters, ripe melon placed on window sills, and stones warmed by the sun.

A lover of artisanal ice creams, Didier has his habits at a small, confidential ice cream parlor, hidden between two honey-colored facades. It was there, on a scorching afternoon, that he discovered a strikingly elegant melon and verbena ice cream.

This duo, suddenly, became obvious to him. He found in it everything that summer has best: the sweetness of sun-drenched fruits, the vegetal vivacity of fresh herbs.
Creating a tea that captures this sensation then became an obvious choice. And it was in the hushed calm of his Parisian workshop, a few days later, that Thé du Jardin was born, a tribute to the flavors of his summer.

Tea and Food Pairings
The Thé du Jardin is a wonderful accompaniment to a thin melon tart, a verbena panna cotta, or lemon blossom shortbread. It also gracefully pairs with a yellow fruit salad or a frozen dessert made with almond milk and lime zest. Its natural vegetal and fruity notes allow for both simple and subtle pairings.

Recipes using Thé du Jardin green tea
Cold brewed, Thé du Jardin is a refreshing and clear drink. As a granita, it reveals a crystalline texture, ideal for hot afternoons. Simply brew the tea, sweeten it lightly, then freeze it, raking it with a fork. For a more festive version, imagine a frosted glass, a few drops of white melon liqueur, a dash of lime for vibrancy, and a hint of prosecco to make the moment sparkle. A few fresh verbena leaves, a lemon zest curled like a ribbon… and you have a cocktail as delicate to look at as it is to savor.
