Céline Cookie Green Tea

Picture the moment a tray of cookies comes out of the oven: vanilla drifting through the air, cinnamon melting into warm butter, a gentle wave of almond filling the room. That is the exact feeling this blend sets out to capture, in a cup.

Created by Julien Huot around a carefully sourced Sencha, this signature blend draws from the world of comforting baked goods. The green leaf brings a fresh, vegetal quality; apple pieces and cinnamon sketch the rounded warmth of a biscuit; ginger adds a quiet spark of brightness. A rich, enveloping aroma that never feels heavy.

The aromatic profile of Céline Cookie

The opening is unmistakably indulgent. The nose catches vanilla first, warm and creamy, followed by a breath of sweet almond that brings cookie dough to mind. Cinnamon lingers quietly in the background, never sharp, always enveloping.

On the palate, the China Sencha unfolds its vegetal, lightly herbaceous character. This base provides just the right structure to keep the sweetness from becoming cloying. Dried apple softens the whole, while ginger lifts the finish with a delicate spiced note, without ever taking over.

The finish is long, lightly milky, almost pastry-like. It calls to mind a still-warm cookie, with that faint crispness sketched by the cinnamon and marigold petals. A blend that comforts without weighing you down, perfect for a sweet pause with no added sugar.

If you enjoy this dessert register, you will likely love our roasted nut green tea, which plays a more toasted tune on a similar Sencha base and takes the indulgent, dry-biscuit direction a step further.

How to brew Céline Cookie green tea

Getting the best from this blend comes down to a careful steep. Sencha is a delicate green tea that cannot stand boiling water, which would turn it bitter and drown the vanilla notes.

Water: low-mineral, filtered if possible, heated to 75-80°C. If you do not have a temperature-controlled kettle, bring the water to a boil then wait 2 minutes before pouring.

Quantity: 12 to 15 grams per litre, roughly a heaped tablespoon for a 50 cl teapot. A glass or porcelain teapot works best, giving the leaves room to open fully.

Time: 2 to 3 minutes. Beyond that, the Sencha tannins start to overshadow the rounded vanilla character. Taste at 2 minutes, then steep a little longer if you prefer more body.

You can also brew it cold: double the quantity, steep for 8 hours in cold water in the fridge, then strain. The vanilla sweetness takes on a surprising freshness that way, perfect for summer afternoons. Enjoy our green teas as part of your daily ritual, from morning through to the afternoon break.

Storage

Prepared in our own workshop, this blend keeps best in an airtight, opaque tin, away from light, heat and strong odors. Avoid the fridge, which introduces moisture. Consumed within 12 months of opening, it will hold the full delicacy of its natural aromas.
