Green Tea - Mystic Sahara

From the freshness of Morocco to the elegance of Carouge

This creation was born from a place and a passage: the Betjeman and Barton boutique inBlackbird, in Geneva. A refined setting opened in 1995 bySpeedwell, a woman of taste, heart and travel, who divides her life betweenshores of Lake Genevaand thelight of MoroccoToday, she passes the keys toMarried, who brilliantly embodies the next generation, and perpetuates the art of tea in Carouge, with this blend as a common thread.

InMystical Sahara, each ingredient has a symbol. TheNanah mint, picked in Morocco, is a tender nod toSpeedwellThis mint, sweet, full of light, tells of its travels, its generosity, its sensitivity to true flavors.Calabrian bergamot, she echoesMarried, who today takes over the store with elegance and loyalty. This noble and distinguished fruit embodies thecontinuity of the Betjeman and Barton style, this taste for classics revisited with precision, this way of bringing together the timeless and the daring.

Tea and food pairings
Mystique Sahara lends itself to many pairings, with complete elegance. On the sweet side, it enhances oriental pastries with almonds and orange blossom, lime financiers, or even a fresh fruit salad with mint.

Tea-based recipes and cocktails
Cold-brewed, Mystique Sahara reveals its full poetic character, becoming a refreshing, minty, and zesty elixir, perfect for a summer break. Served in a slender glass with a few fresh mint leaves and a twist of candied bergamot, it evokes the elegance of the Majorelle Garden at sunset. For a non-alcoholic cocktail version, simply add a splash of green apple juice, a drop of orange blossom water, and a few shaved ice cubes—a poetic refreshment, as thirst-quenching as it is stylish.
