In a nutshell: a flavored Assam black tea with apricot and peach, indulgent and sun-drenched. Brewing: 100°C (212°F), 3 to 5 min, 12 to 15 g/L. Perfect in the morning and throughout the day.
Some cups feel like a ray of sunshine. Our Fruity Apricot Black Tea is one of them: a generous Assam base, soft pieces of fruit, and the scent of a sun-ripened orchard that rises from the very first pour.
Carefully crafted by Julien Huot, this blend brings together the malty character of a great Indian black tea, the roundness of apricot, and the juicy freshness of peach. A delightfully comforting classic, worth returning to morning after morning. our Ceylon and Darjeeling black teas to explore our full selection.
The flavor profile of our Fruity Apricot Black Tea
Open the bag and the fragrance is immediate: a warm, almost jammy fruitiness that calls to mind sun-soaked apricots laid out on a summer tablecloth. The orange marigold petals add a bright visual promise to this luminous infusion.
On the nose, the natural apricot aroma comes forward, vivid and juicy, with a softer peach note alongside it. At the heart, the Assam unfolds its malty, lightly woody roundness, giving the cup structure without overshadowing the fruit. On the finish, soft raisins leave a lingering sweetness, almost pastry-like.
The liquor pours a beautiful, bright copper, hinting at a generous infusion. On the palate, the balance plays between the boldness of the black tea and the indulgence of the fruit: no single note takes over, everything works together. A blend that will delight lovers of sunny flavors and comforting cups.
To continue exploring, try our vanilla black tea, creamier and more enveloping, or our Rooibos Peach Apricot, a fruity caffeine-free alternative. If you're unsure which tea family suits you best, our green tea vs. black tea guide is a good place to start.
How to brew Fruity Apricot Black Tea
Preparation makes all the difference. A flavored Assam needs properly hot water to release its malty body and bring out the apricot and peach notes in full.
Dosage: use 12 to 15 g of leaves per liter of water, roughly one heaped tablespoon per large cup.
Temperature: bring the water to 100°C (212°F). Fully boiling water draws out the Assam's malty depth and softens the fruity notes of the blend.
Steeping time: steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Three minutes for a more delicate cup, five for something full-bodied and indulgent. Beyond that, the black tea base may turn astringent.
Equipment: a wide tea infuser or a teapot with a removable strainer works best. The leaves and fruit pieces need room to move freely in the water and release their aromas. A timer helps you hit the sweet spot.
This blend is lovely on its own, letting the fruit shine through, or with a splash of milk for something more enveloping. For an iced version, cold-brew for six hours in the refrigerator: the cup transforms into a true summer drink. Try our Fruity Apricot Black Tea as part of your morning ritual.
Storage
Packaged in our workshop, this tea keeps best away from light, moisture, and strong odors. An opaque, airtight container stored in a cool cupboard will preserve the freshness of the aromas for twelve to eighteen months. Keep it out of the refrigerator, which is no friend to flavored teas.
