Almond Cloud Black Tea

Almond Cloud is the kind of tea you brew the way you wrap yourself in a blanket: for pure comfort. Its base of smooth, generous black tea welcomes pieces of roasted almond and a touch of natural vanilla, drawing the cup out into something almost like a warm pastry.

This is an uncomplicated infusion, crafted for lovers of indulgent profiles, those who like to find in their cup the scent of a warm frangipane or a freshly baked financier. A creation by Julien Huot, founder of the house, who champions straightforward and legible blends. our black tea collection to continue the journey.

The aromatic profile of Almond Cloud

As soon as you open the packet, roasted almond takes centre stage, round and buttery, followed by a vanilla warmth that softens the whole blend. The black tea, chosen for its suppleness, never overwhelms this indulgent duo.

In the cup, the liquor takes on a deep copper hue. The first sip reveals a gentle, almost milky opening, where the almond pieces unfold their praline-like side. The mid-palate is enriched by a fragrant vanilla note, without tipping into sweetness.

The finish is long and lightly woody, with that soft return of almond that makes you set down the cup, then reach for it again. A pleasure tea, at once familiar and refined, perfect on its own but equally wonderful alongside a pastry or a butter shortbread.

How to brew Almond Cloud black tea

The preparation is classic and fuss-free: a teapot, a filter, and freshly boiled water are all you need to bring out the indulgent character of this blend.

• Water: brought to 100°C, low in minerals so as not to mask the aromas
• Quantity: 12 to 15 g per litre, roughly 2 teaspoons for a large cup
• Time: 3 to 5 minutes, depending on desired strength
• Moment: morning or a sweet afternoon pause

For a gentler cup, keep to 3 minutes; for a fuller, more structured brew that holds its own against a splash of plant-based milk (almond, naturally), go up to 5. A programmable tea maker works perfectly if you like precision, but a simple cast-iron teapot gives equally satisfying results.

For an iced version, double the amount of leaves, brew hot, then pour over ice: the almond note comes through brilliantly. A refreshing option for warmer days. Try this black tea in your daily ritual to turn an ordinary break into a truly indulgent moment.

Storage

Packaged in our workshop, this tea keeps best in its original tin or an airtight container, away from light, heat and strong kitchen aromas. Its natural aromas will stay fresh for several months. Avoid the refrigerator, which is the enemy of flavoured teas: the moisture dulls the almond note and affects the vanilla.
