In a nutshell: A fruity, caffeine-free After Work herbal infusion, brewed at 15–20g/L for 10–12 minutes at 100°C. Flavours of passion fruit, pineapple and mango, lifted by passionflower and ginkgo.
Our After Work herbal infusion was created as a fruity pause — that suspended moment when you close your laptop and finally let yourself breathe. Caffeine-free, it eases the transition from late afternoon to early evening without disturbing your sleep.
The combination of passion fruit, pineapple and mango gives it a sun-warmed roundness, while passionflower and ginkgo add a more botanical, almost herbaceous depth. A true afterwork in a cup, wonderful served hot or iced on summer days. Julien Huot, founder of Thés & Traditions, blended this recipe as a ritual of transition between the office and home.
The Aromatic Profile of the After Work Herbal Infusion
Open the tin and the fruit pieces catch your eye immediately: golden pineapple chunks, diced mango and papaya, blue cornflower petals, aronia berries and cranberries. A generous blend where every ingredient plays its part.
On the palate, passion fruit takes centre stage, supported by the gentle sweetness of apple and the citrusy brightness of lemongrass. Red beetroot gives the infusion a beautiful carmine hue, while passionflower and ginkgo bring a more botanical, well-balanced finish. A caffeine-free recipe, just as enjoyable after work as it is early in the evening.
