Black tea flavored cherry jasmine orange - La lampe merveilleuse - Teatower

La lampe merveilleuse

Rub the lamp. A genie appears. He smells of cherry, jasmine, and a hint of orange. His wish: that you take 5 minutes for yourself. Just for you.

La lampe merveilleuse is a scented black tea with elegant and enchanting notes of cherry, jasmine and orange. It's a refined composition that plays on contrasts: the depth of black tea, the sweetness of cherry, the delicacy of jasmine, and the vibrancy of orange. A poetic tea, for moments when a break becomes a journey.

Tasting profile

The liquor is a deep coppery red, luminous. On the nose, cherry arrives first — ripe, almost candied — followed by jasmine petals that delicately perfume. Orange brings a zesty touch in the background. On the palate, Chinese black tea (90%) provides a full-bodied and malty structure, on which fruits and flowers dance with elegance. Rose petals add a floral, long and silky finish.

When to enjoy it?

Mid-afternoon, when the day calls for a moment of grace. It's also an excellent tea for entertaining — it impresses with its complexity and elegance. Serve it in beautiful cups, and watch your guests look up after the first sip.

Food pairings

Magnificent with a cherry clafoutis, almond financiers, or tiramisu. For the bold: try it with lacquered duck — cherry and duck is a classic of gastronomy.

Ingredients

Chinese black tea (90%), freeze-dried cherry pieces, orange blossom, flavoring, jasmine and red rose petals.

Did you know? The jasmine used in perfumery and tea is Jasminum sambac, native to the Himalayas. Its flowers only open at nightfall, and their fragrance is most intense just before dawn. This is why jasmine pickers work at night.
