Flavoured Teas
Flavoured tea is a pure tea (green, black, white, oolong, or rooibos) blended with fruits, flowers, or spices to create a unique aromatic profile. Far from being a modern shortcut, it is a long-standing tradition dating back at least to the 17th century, when Chinese tea masters were already scenting their tea with jasmine and the English were crafting Earl Grey with bergamot.
At Thés & Traditions, our flavoured tea collection brings together distinct families to explore every flavour: red berry tea, citrus tea, floral tea, spiced tea, exotic teas, Earl Grey, mint tea, detox tea, iced tea, and Christmas tea.

What are the benefits of flavoured tea?
A quick word about flavoured tea. At its heart, it is simply a classic tea to which an aromatic ingredient has been added. One of the oldest flavoured teas is Earl Grey, a black tea infused with bergamot. Today, the possibilities are endless: fruit pieces, spices, flowers and essential oils all find their way into the blend. You will find everything from lemon tea to chocolate tea, for those who love a more indulgent cup. The aromas used in these blends are always of natural origin.
It is also possible to flavour a tea with real fruit pieces, flower petals or caramel and chocolate drops. Balancing aromas just right is not unlike composing a fragrance: a unique, layered experience with a character all its own. The goal is to find combinations that complement each other and carry you somewhere new, in just a few sips. It is all about harmony and balance. We particularly love our organic Sencha green tea, with its delicate, grassy notes, and the apple and cinnamon Rooibos, a warming red tea that awakens the palate with sweet apple pieces and hints of spice.
The benefits of loose-leaf flavoured tea
The world of flavoured tea is wonderfully varied. From flavoured white tea and iced tea to red fruit black tea, there is something for everyone in our extensive selection. These teas are available in two forms: tea bags and loose-leaf. Loose-leaf flavoured tea has a number of advantages over its bagged counterpart. It is generally more affordable, and the quality is higher, since the leaves used are whole rather than broken down. You can also see exactly what goes into your cup, with every ingredient visible at a glance.
Scented tea vs. flavoured tea: what is the difference?
Scented or flavoured? It is worth taking a moment to understand the distinction. A scented tea is crafted using flowers, with no added flavourings: the blooms are hand-picked and blended with a base tea, such as a green or white tea. At Thés & Traditions, you will find a beautiful range of scented teas, including our orange Oolong, delicately perfumed with orange and mango. Our Kunming white tea, meanwhile, is a true celebration of spring, with gentle notes of rosemary and lavender.
How our flavoured teas are made
A quality flavoured tea begins with a carefully selected tea base (green, black, white, oolong, or rooibos) blended with aromatic botanicals, dried fruits, flowers, spices, and natural flavourings. Every flavouring we use is of natural origin, never synthetic.
For flavoured green tea, we favour sencha or gunpowder bases, which hold their structure beautifully when aromatics are introduced. For flavoured black tea, robust Assam or Ceylon bases stand up to bold flavour profiles like bergamot, vanilla, and red fruits.
Julien Huot, founder of Thés & Traditions, personally selects every base and every aromatic ingredient. A large share of our range is certified organic. Our guiding principle: balance between the character of the tea and its aromatic profile, so that each one reveals the other rather than overpowering it.
The benefits of flavoured teas
Flavoured tea retains all the benefits of its base. According to the EFSA, the catechins in green tea help protect cells from oxidative stress. Black tea provides theaflavins, while rooibos is naturally caffeine-free.
Beyond the tea itself, added ingredients often bring their own benefits: citrus fruits (vitamin C), spices (turmeric, ginger), and flowers (known for their soothing qualities). For general guidance on tea consumption and herbal combinations, the ANSES is a reliable reference.
Frequently asked questions
What types of flavoured tea are there?
The main categories are: flavoured green tea (sencha with red fruits, gunpowder with mint), flavoured black tea (Earl Grey, vanilla, red fruits), flavoured white tea (rose, flowers), flavoured oolong (jasmine, fruits), and flavoured rooibos (caffeine-free). Each base brings its own character, and the flavouring settles naturally into it.
How do you make flavoured tea at home?
The simplest approach: blend quality loose-leaf tea with dried fruits (orange zest, freeze-dried raspberries), dried flowers (jasmine, rose, lavender), or spices (cinnamon sticks, cardamom). Aim for around 70-80% tea to 20-30% aromatics. The result will be pleasant, though less balanced than a professionally made flavoured tea: the concentrated natural flavourings we use deliver a more powerful, consistent aroma.
What ingredients go into flavoured teas?
Three main families: 1) fruits (dried, freeze-dried, or as natural flavouring), 2) flowers (jasmine, rose, orange blossom, lavender, hibiscus, cornflower, calendula), 3) spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, pepper, vanilla). Natural flavourings (citrus essential oils, for example) concentrate the taste without visually weighing down the blend.
Where can you buy flavoured tea online?
Look for retailers who specify the origin of their tea base, the nature of the flavourings (natural vs. synthetic), and a complete list of ingredients. Check for the words "natural flavourings" on the packaging. Our T&T catalogue spans 122 references across 10 families, all made with natural flavourings and directly sourced bases.
How do you choose an organic flavoured tea?
Look for AB (Organic Agriculture) certification, which guarantees that both the tea base and added ingredients are free from pesticides. When choosing an organic flavoured tea, also check that any added flavourings are natural (plant-derived), not chemically produced. A large part of our range carries certified organic status.
What are the most popular flavoured tea flavours?
The most loved flavours in France include: red fruits (strawberry, raspberry), citrus (lemon, bergamot, as in Earl Grey), vanilla (a perennial favourite), caramel, mint, jasmine, orange blossom, and ginger. Exotic flavours (mango, passion fruit, pineapple) are gaining ground, while indulgent profiles (chocolate, hazelnut) come into their own in autumn.
What are the benefits of flavoured tea?
Flavoured tea retains the benefits of its base: antioxidants (catechins in green tea, theaflavins in black tea), L-theanine (calm, focus), and caffeine (gentle energy). Added ingredients bring their own contributions: vitamin C from citrus, the properties of spices (ginger for digestion, turmeric for its anti-inflammatory qualities), and the soothing effect of flowers. Enjoyed in moderation, it fits naturally into a balanced lifestyle.
