Memory Green Tea - A sip of childhood and sunshine
WithMemory, Betjeman and Barton captures the carefree fun of a childhood summer in a bright, vibrant mug. Thisgreen teadelicate awakens at the touch of acherrytangy, more vibrant than sweet, like a handful of fruit picked by the handful. A sunny yellow infusion that evokes southern orchards, watchless afternoons, and bursts of laughter in the warm air.
On the palate, the vegetal freshness of green tea marries the lively note of cherry: a balance between energy and tenderness, between the tangy flavor of a ripe fruit and the lightness of a still-fresh leaf. This is a tea that seeks not to seduce with sweetness, but with momentum, frankness, and light. A tea of the heart, a tea of the day.
The memory of a shared orchard
It was the cousins' house, nestled on the hillside in the small village of Collobrières, in the heart of the Massif des Maures. We returned there every June, between card games on the checkered tablecloth and running barefoot in the short grass. At the bottom of the garden, the orchard, a little wild, a little sloping, was overflowing with cherry trees with shiny fruit. We climbed the branches, our fingers stained, our cheeks full, our laughter suspended between two wicker baskets.
Memoryis a reflection of these moments: a cup like a postcard from the past, both vivid and light, like a memory that doesn't fade but sparkles. Each infusion revives this simple picture: the warmth on the skin, the shade of the trees, the just-slightly tangy taste of freshly picked cherries.
Memory in motion
At Betjeman and Barton, we believe that tea can be a bridge between the present and what we hold within.Memoryis a tribute to active, joyful, vibrant memory. Not nostalgia, but energy. The kind that pushes us to smile for no reason, to walk more lightly, to rediscover, for a moment, the momentum of carefree summers.
To be enjoyed hot or iced, alone or shared,Memoryis an infusion to be experienced rather than reflected upon. A fruity, fresh, and luminous break for gray days, or to prolong blue ones.
Joyful and fruity accords
Memorycan be enjoyed as a light treat and pairs wonderfully with anything that prolongs the fruit's momentum. At snack time, it enhances a thin cherry tart, a still-warm clafoutis or a simple almond cake. In iced form, it accompanies red fruit salads, yogurt ice creams or homemade sorbets, with that tangy touch that refreshes without ever overwhelming.
We can also imagine it served in a carafe, sprinkled with fresh cherries and mint leaves, like a tea lemonade for long late afternoons. Whether served with a summer pastry or a freshly bitten fruit,Memoryalways finds the right match, the one that prolongs the pleasure without freezing it, in a spirit of freedom and simplicity.
