Tea Tout en douceur

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 sometimes tired of going so fast.

And then there's that evening moment. The one when she comes home, relaxes, puts on a loose sweater, and heats the water. In her favorite mug, she brews Tout en Douceur. The scent of pear rises gently, the almond note floats in the warm air, the verbena slides into her body like a promise. She settles down, she breathes. Finally.
It is there, in this hushed silence, that she finds her own space. Her gentleness. Her true presence.

A tea as a tender gesture

Tout en Douceur was designed as an aromatic hug.
• Rooibos soothes,
• Verbena refocuses,
• The pear refreshes,
• Almonds comfort,
• Black tea, off-label, supports without exciting.

It's a mixture of support, comfort, and joyful calm.

Tea and food pairing

It pairs beautifully with homemade compote, a soft pear cake, or a slice of frangipane galette des rois, enhancing its buttery roundness and melting almond texture. And why not try it in a "latte" version, with warm almond milk, to further accentuate its delicious sweetness?
