Neither quite tea, nor quite infusion...
Already to the eye,All in Gentlenesskeeps its promise: generous and comforting, it reveals large leaves ofverbenawhole, pieces ofpeardried, shards ofalmondtapered and pretty yellow petals, like so many touches of light in a setting of dark leaves.
This delicate blend unites the velvety depth of Chinese and Ceylon black teas with the vegetal caress of rooibos and verbena. Pear brings a fruity freshness, light as a breath, and almond an enveloping, almost milky roundness. Together, they create an irresistible note of frangipani.
Low in theine, this tea is the ideal companion for the end of the day, for times when you need to get back to yourself, for moments when you simply need to take off your mask and breathe.
Juliette: a gentleness in motion
Juliette lives in Paris. Her daily life, like so many others, is hectic: cycling, work, appointments. Her pace is brisk, her thoughts spiral, and her heart is sometimes tired of going so fast. And then there's that evening. The time when she comes home, relaxes, puts on a loose sweater, and heats the water. In her favorite mug, she brewsAll in GentlenessThe scent of pear rises gently, the almond note floats in the warm air, the verbena slides into the body like a promise. She settles, she breathes. Finally. It is there, in this hushed silence, that she finds her own space. Her sweetness. Her true presence.
A tea as a tender gesture
All in Gentlenesswas thought of as an aromatic hug.
- Rooibos soothes,
- Verbena refocuses,
- The pear refreshes,
- Almond comforts,
Black tea, when drunk off-peak, supports without exciting. It's a blend of support, comfort, and joyful calm.
The art of tea for self-care
Brewed hot, this tea is best enjoyed in a quiet moment, preferably under a blanket for two. It pairs beautifully with homemade compote, a soft pear cake, or a slice offrangipane king cake, whose buttery roundness and melting almond texture it extends. And why not try it in a “latte” version, with warm almond milk, to further accentuate its delicious sweetness?
All in Gentleness, it's the art of transforming a cup of tea into an intimate refuge. A simple promise: that of doing yourself good, without anything abrupt
