Saint Geran

A story with the scent of paradise
Our Saint Géran doesn't owe its name to a forgotten legend, but to a vivid memory. During a trip to Mauritius, Didier, one of our leaders, embarked on a boat tour of the islands, sailing along turquoise lagoons, sugary coasts, and fragrant shores. On board, he accidentally discovered the story of the ship Saint Géran, which ran aground off the island in the 18th century. But it wasn't the tragedy that left its mark on him: it was the light, the abundance, and the grace of the landscapes he crossed.

Each stopover was a sensory revelation. In the markets, red fruits overflowed with juice, warm spices floated in the air, and vanilla seemed to grow everywhere, natural, sovereign. On the skin, salt, and sugar. In the air, the scent of caramelized brown sugar, tropical orchards, and homemade sweets. It was there, between two islands, two silences, that Didier imagined a tea that would retain a little of this magic.
Saint-Géran was born from this journey: a solar, enveloping infusion, which evokes hand-picked fruits, shared memories, and the promise of a generous and tender elsewhere, like an archipelago of sensations to be savored slowly.

Tea and food pairing
Saint-Géran pairs beautifully with fruity sweets and cream-based desserts. It elevates a red berry tart, a vanilla flan, or an almond sponge cake. Its balance of liveliness and smoothness also makes it an ideal companion to an elegant brunch, alongside raspberry jam scones or caramel French toast. It's the quintessential afternoon tea, designed to enhance sweet breaks.

Recipes and cocktails using Saint Géran black tea
Saint-Géran can be brewed hot or cold and lends itself to a variety of creations. Cold, it makes a refined base for homemade iced tea, served with fresh red berries and a basil leaf. In a cocktail, it pairs wonderfully with a splash of vanilla rum or black cherry syrup. It can also be transformed into a dessert granita or a decadent latte with a splash of plant-based milk and a touch of maple syrup.
