An infusion from elsewhere, like a sensory journey
One of the secrets of our House lies in this singular art of reinventing the great classics with elegance and emotion, by adding a personal touch, born from a memory, a place, a lingering scent or a whispered story. Our Épices black tea, a Parisian reinterpretation of the traditional Indian chai, is a brilliant illustration of this: a sensitive dialogue between heritage and creation.
A cup like a spicy memory
Among our spicy creations, whether our Chais, be they green tea or black tea, or the delicate Oolong Le bonheur vous va si bien, Épices tea holds a special place. It is one of the rare ones to incorporate star anise, our tea blender's favorite ingredient.
It was during a tasting, at her favorite spot in Passage Brady, that the idea was born: a divine star anise ice cream, both fresh and intense, awakened in her the desire to find this singular flavor, at any time of day, in a generous, vibrant black tea, inspired by Indian traditions but tinged with her own sensibility.
Thus was born Épices: an infusion like a bridge between East and West, between the colorful markets of the subcontinent and the paving stones of a vibrant Paris, with its mixed scents.
Épices, or the art of fusion
On the savory side, it pairs well with a mild root vegetable curry, a pumpkin velouté enhanced with hazelnut slivers, or a thin goat cheese tart sprinkled with sesame seeds.
