A sweet and bright treat, caffeine-free

Here is a reinvented Earl Grey, both true to the spirit of the classic… and wonderfully soothing. This blend unites unoxidized green rooibos, warm red rooibos, and the subtle aroma of bergamot — for a caffeine-free cup, but full of character.

Bergamot here evokes fine pastries: a zesty, almost sweet hint that enhances the honeyed, cereal, and stewed fruit notes characteristic of rooibos. The marigold and centaury petals soften the whole, like a vegetal caress.

To be enjoyed at the end of the day or in sweet company, or a moment for oneself.

Ingredients: green rooibos*, red rooibos*, natural flavor (bergamot), marigold, blue centaury. *Naturally grown.

The Master's advice

For an even creamier cup, let it steep a little longer than usual — rooibos never becomes bitter. Serve it slightly warm, with a slice of lemon or a shortbread cookie: this is how one tastes the poetry of a soothing Earl Grey.
