Digestive herbal infusions, a soothing end to every meal

What is a digestive herbal infusion?

A digestive herbal infusion is a caffeine-free plant infusion best enjoyed after a meal, as a gentle moment of calm. It brings together herbs long associated with the end of a good meal: peppermint, fennel, anise, ginger, verbena, lemon balm, linden, liquorice and chamomile, most often organically grown. Each one lends its own character: cool menthol freshness, soft anise sweetness, warming ginger, or the gentle roundness of flowers.

Caffeine-free and soothing, these digestive infusions can be enjoyed at any hour, and especially in the evening, as a comforting ritual to close the day on a quiet note. Served piping hot, they make the perfect companion to the end of a meal.

Which herbal infusion is best for digestion?

It all comes down to the flavours you enjoy. Those who love a fresh, cooling cup will gravitate towards peppermint or a mint digestive infusion. For softer, anise-like notes, fennel and anise are timeless choices. Ginger brings warmth and character, while chamomile and vervain offer rounded, gently soothing cups, perfect for the evening. Every palate has its favourite herb.

How to brew a digestive herbal infusion?

Pour water just off the boil, around 90 to 95 degrees, over your herbs and steep for five to ten minutes depending on how intense you like it. The longer the steep, the more the aromas unfold. Herbal infusions don't turn bitter, so you can let them sit as long as you like. Enjoy as is, or soften with a touch of honey. Traditionally savoured after lunch or dinner, nice and hot.
