The colors of the orchard in a cup
It is in Barbentane, a village perched between the Alpilles and the Durance, that our flavorist loves to rediscover the fertile silence of the seasons. There, nestled between cypresses and almond hedges, she retreats several times a year to the Mas de l’Aube Claire, a hundred-year-old pale stone building with sage green shutters, perched like a lookout over the terraced orchards.
In summer, the air is saturated with the heady scents of ripe peaches, the heavy branches
bend under the velvety fruits, and the warm ground exhales the smells of dry grass and golden dust. In autumn, the landscape softens: the pear trees ignite with russet, their fruits fall into the fresh grass, enveloping the air with an almost milky sweetness, barely tinged with acidity.
From this sensual and familiar alternation, the idea of Spring Blend was born in our creator's mind: a black tea that would not choose between the golden memory of summer and the freshness of autumn, but would unite them in a single infusion. A tea of transition, of new light, inspired by a discreet territory where each season deposits its fruits like promises, and where nature, silently, writes the most beautiful scores of taste.
