Spring Blend

The colors of the orchard in a cup

It is in Barbentane, a village perched between the Alpilles and the Durance, that our aromatician likes to rediscover the fertile silence of the seasons. There, nestled between cypress trees and almond hedges, she retreats several times a year to the Mas de l'Aube Claire, a century-old building in pale stone, with sage green shutters, positioned like a sentinel over the terraced orchards.

In summer, the air is saturated with the heady scents of ripe peaches, the branches heavy
They bend under the velvety fruit, and the warm soil exhales scents of dry grass and golden dust. In autumn, the landscape softens: the pear trees blaze with russet, their fruit falls into the fresh grass, enveloping the air with an almost milky sweetness, barely tinged with acidity.

From this sensual and familiar alternation was born the idea ofSpring BlendIn the spirit of our creator: a black tea that doesn't choose between the golden memories of summer and the freshness of autumn, but unites them in a single infusion. A tea of ​​transition, of new light, inspired by a discreet territory where each season lays its fruits like promises, and where nature, silently, composes the most beautiful scores of taste.

Tea and food pairing
Spring Blend gracefully complements a wide variety of sweet treats. At teatime, it reveals its delicate character alongside a pistachio financier, a matcha tea sponge cake, or a candied lemon cake. It also pairs wonderfully with desserts with a light texture: ricotta tart with citrus zest, shortbread with salted butter, or even a floating island with pink praline pieces.

Recipes and cocktails made with tea
Cold-brewed, it becomes a refreshing and fragrant drink, perfect for long spring afternoons. Serve it with orange blossom panna cotta, apricot and basil compote, or a fresh fruit salad with herbs. For sunny days, treat yourself to a homemade granita: concentrated infusion, orgeat syrup, a few hours in the freezer, crushed into ice, and voilà! A melting spoonful, vegetal and fruity, like spring in a shard of ice.
