The fragrance of flowers have an exceptional evocative power. The example of this blend of Ceylon and China teas flavoured with violet is the perfect example of it. When you smell this tea, you don't know whether it reminds you of the bunch in La Traviata or the one offered by Luis Mariano in the unforgettable Imperial Violets. Anyway, it reminds you of something...
Violet
Suzanne, elegance as a legacy
In Suzanne's house, everything was carefully arranged: the vases rested on hand-crocheted placemats, the windows opened onto a garden with well-designed flowerbeds, and in the air floated that violet, both familiar and precious. She loved this flower in all its forms, in perfume, in syrup, in candy, and of course, in tea. It was her grandmother who introduced Agnès to this scent, in the clinking of silver spoons and the hushed rituals of a bygone era. This tea pays homage to her: to her discretion, to her attention to detail, to this way of making each moment a refined instant, and to her love.
The violet, a flower with a secret language
A symbol of discreet love, proud modesty, and silent fidelity, the violet traverses the arts like a whispered note. In Verdi's La Traviata, Violetta Valéry embodies all the ardent fragility of this flower: disturbing beauty, restrained emotion, veiled passion.
In popular songs, it comes up again and again, "The violets are all faded...", messenger of old passion or promise of a return.
A flower of shadow and silence, the violet has conquered hearts and living rooms, finding its ideal setting in this black tea.
At the source of the most beautiful violets
While violets grow wild in many regions, the most valuable for flavoring are now cultivated in the South of France, particularly around Toulouse, nicknamed the pink and purple city. There, the viola odorata (Toulouse violet) is hand-harvested at dawn and then processed using traditional craftsmanship to deliver remarkably subtle fragrances. Crystallized, distilled, or infused, it reveals an essence that is floral, fresh, and musky, prized by confectioners and perfumers, and now celebrated in this rare and refined tea.
