The aroma profile of Orange Mist

Up front, orange peel and natural orange aroma draw out a zesty citrus freshness, almost sparkling. Lemongrass adds a bright, herbaceous thread that extends this fragrant opening.

At the heart, verbena, in whole leaves and pieces, unfolds the characteristic lemony softness of this familiar herb, long cherished in French herbal teas. Apple rounds the blend with a naturally sweet, fruity note.

In the base, cinnamon sticks lay down a warm, woody touch: discreet, lending the cup its character without taking over. The liquor pours a clear golden yellow, with an evocative orange blossom scent.

How to prepare your orange blossom infusion

Use 12 to 15 g of the blend per litre of water, roughly one heaped tablespoon per cup. Choose a soft, low-mineral water to preserve the delicacy of the aromas and keep the liquor clear.

Bring the water to a full boil at 212°F (100°C), then pour over the herbs placed in a wide tea filter, an infuser ball, or a teapot with a removable strainer. Steep for 7 to 10 minutes depending on the strength you prefer, longer for a rounder, more woodsy cup.

Enjoy as is, warm in the evening for a calming moment, or chilled in summer with a splash of orange juice and a few fresh mint leaves. For a fruitier twist, try our peach mojito herbal infusion.

Storing your herbal infusion

Keep your Orange Mist in its original tin or an airtight, opaque container, away from light, moisture and heat sources. Stored this way, the blend holds its orange and verbena fragrance for 18 to 24 months.

Avoid placing it next to strong spices in your cupboard: verbena and orange peel readily absorb neighbouring aromas. A dedicated tin preserves the floral signature of the blend.
