The aromatic profile of the Alpine Herbal Infusion

The moment you open the pouch, the freshness is striking. Orange leads the way, luminous and bright, underpinned by the lively heat of ginger and the cooling breath of peppermint.

On the top notes, orange peel and natural orange aroma release a zesty, almost sun-drenched vibrancy. Peppermint follows, its signature cool and crystalline, like water drawn from a mountain spring.

At the heart, ginger brings a spiced warmth, rounded by a touch of raw cane sugar. Whole verbena and mulberry leaf weave a delicate green base, herbaceous and fragrant, evoking high-altitude gardens and scented mountain paths.

On the base, natural Rooibos from South Africa unfolds its gentle, woody depth. Apple and carrot soften the blend with a natural sweetness, while passionflower and cornflower lend a quiet floral elegance to the finish.

The result is a balanced infusion, at once refreshing and enveloping, where every botanical finds its place without overpowering its neighbour. If you enjoy botanical blends like this one, you may also love our elderflower herbal infusion.

How to brew the Alpine Herbal Infusion

A great infusion comes down to four simple things: water quality, temperature, time and quantity. For this mountain creation, here are our house guidelines.

Water: choose a soft, low-mineral water to let the botanicals shine. Bring it to a full 100°C to properly extract the ginger and orange peel.

Quantity: use 15 to 20 grams per litre, roughly a heaped tablespoon for a large 300 ml cup. This generous measure allows roots, peels and leaves to reveal their full aromatic range.

Steeping time: steep for 10 to 12 minutes. This gives roots and peels time to release their richness, while mint and verbena settle their freshness on the surface.

Enjoy it as it is, or add a drizzle of mountain honey to bring out its roundness. In summer, try it as a cold infusion: leave the botanicals to steep overnight in a jug in the fridge for a crystal-clear, refreshing drink. Caffeine-free, it suits every moment of the day, from morning through to evening, whether you're rounding off a meal or winding down before bed.
