Black tea flavored almond honey nougat - Délice de Montélimar - Teatower

Délice de Montélimar

There's nougat in this tea. Real nougat. With almonds, honey, and that melting sweetness that brings back Southern summers. Délice de Montélimar is the Proust's madeleine for foodies — in a cup.

Délice de Montélimar is a flavoured black tea that pushes the boundaries of indulgence. 30% of genuine nougat granules (almonds, honey, egg white, vanilla) are blended with black tea leaves. The result is a tea of enveloping sweetness, with notes of toasted almond and golden honey that linger long after the last sip.

Tasting profile

The liquor is deep amber, almost honey-hued. On the nose, toasted almond dominates — warm, comforting, lightly roasted. Honey comes as a backdrop with its natural roundness. On the palate, the black tea brings body and structure, while the nougat literally melts on the tongue — sweet but never cloying, thanks to the tea's gentle bitterness that balances. The finish is long, vanilla-laced, with an almond echo.

When to enjoy it?

This is the quintessential afternoon tea. At 4pm, with a biscuit or on its own — it IS the dessert. Also perfect after dinner to replace the coffee gourmand. With a splash of milk, it becomes an addictive nougat latte. 80 reviews at 4.39/5 — customers come back again and again.

Gourmet pairings

The ideal companion to an almond tart, a calisson from Aix, or an almond croissant. It also pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream (pour the hot tea over a scoop — nougat affogato).

Did you know? Montélimar nougat has held PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status since 1996. It must contain at least 30% almonds (or 28% almonds + 2% pistachios) and 25% honey. Our tea honours this tradition — real nougat, not just flavouring.
