Our Black Tea Recipes for Winter

To stay cosy through winter, nothing compares to a freshly brewed cup of black tea. With its caffeine, bold flavour and benefits, black tea becomes a daily companion. Pure black teas are produced all over the world, including China, India (with Darjeeling) and Ceylon. Do you prefer a flavoured black tea? The gourmet recipes are endless. From a reimagined Earl Grey to Christmas teas, spiced blends or fruity creations, you will find your favourite tin among our winter selection.

Indian Black Tea with Spices and Citrus

For a tea time with character, treat yourself to our gourmet black tea with spices. Among all our recipes, this cocktail was crafted with winter in mind. With its warming spiced notes, it also makes for a delicious Christmas tea. It brings together Assam black tea leaves, spices and citrus. Cinnamon, cloves and cardamom warm the cup, while lemongrass and orange peel bring a touch of bright acidity, and rose petals add a subtle floral note to the infusion.

Organic Lapsang Souchong: the Smoky Tea from China

Our organic Lapsang Souchong is a smoked tea originally from China. It is particularly enjoyed alongside a meal. Its woody flavour and notes reminiscent of bacon and tobacco pair beautifully with savoury dishes. Its character even lends itself to winter recipes like pot-au-feu or velvety pumpkin soup. The leaves of this smoked black tea are low in caffeine, making Lapsang Souchong an ideal choice for the evening. It is one of the very first black teas ever produced in China. Its distinctive flavour comes from a special processing method: after oxidation, the leaves are laid above a wood fire, which gives this unique black tea its powerful aroma. We recommend tasting it in a white gaiwan to admire its beautiful reddish liquor, reminiscent of a rooibos infusion.

The Gentle Elegance of an Organic Darjeeling

Darjeeling is a black tea widely enjoyed during English tea time. Our Darjeeling FTGFOP is a premium black tea from an organic Indian garden. The tin contains only the young leaves and buds of the tea plant. Sourced from the second flush, our black tea reveals a delicate, gently bitter infusion. Its rounded mouthfeel comes with the benefits of caffeine, offering a stimulating effect that helps fight off winter fatigue. Cups of Darjeeling also provide polyphenols, compounds known for their antioxidant properties.

Organic Russian Earl Grey

Earl Grey is surely one of the most famous black tea recipes in the world. The classic blend pairs Indian black tea with bergamot. For your winter tea time, why not try one of its variations: the Russian Earl Grey. Inside the tin, a delicious combination of premium ingredients awaits: Assam black tea leaves, natural aromas of grapefruit, bergamot and lemon, along with cornflower and marigold petals.

Organic Ceylon Tea for Bold, Full-Bodied Cups

No risk of drifting off with our organic Ceylon OP Venture. This Orange Pekoe from Sri Lanka is made from young leaves, without buds, that undergo a strong oxidation. After three minutes of infusion in boiling water, this black tea reveals a powerful flavour, with notes of citrus and chocolate. Thanks to its properties, this drink is ideal in the morning. Ceylon tea leaves provide both caffeine and polyphenols, known for their wellness benefits.

A Tea with Spices and Dried Fruits

After a few minutes of infusion in boiling water, your cup releases a gourmet aroma. Notes of dried fruits, a slight peppery touch and remarkable strength: such are the impressions left by our Nagabandha tea. Its secret? Assam black tea leaves, a natural pistachio aroma and a careful blend of spices. With this creation, prepare a drink that brings together the pleasure of a quality tea with the effects of caffeine and antioxidants.

Assam Black Tea with Fruits, Spices and Flowers

Black tea is said to offer health benefits. But our fruity black tea will also delight your taste buds with its fruits, spices and flowers. To a base of Indian black tea, we add exotic dates, indulgent raisins, comforting cocoa, spicy cinnamon sticks, generous figs, zesty lemon and delicate flowers. Among them is echinacea, a plant prized for its many health virtues. It is said to help reduce the risk of catching the little ailments of winter.

Black Tea with the Taste of Anise

Missing those summer apéritifs? Here is an anise-flavoured black tea to warm you up this winter. Inside the tin, you will find the strength of Indian black tea paired with anise, liquorice root and cornflower petals. Savour a cup of this tea and feel the stimulating effect of caffeine. Anise infused in hot water is also said to bring beneficial effects to your wellbeing. Its expectorant properties are believed to support the respiratory system during winter ailments.
