Picture a cup with copper-hued liquor, from which rises a powdery violet scent, gently resting on the roundness of an organic Assam. This floral infusion brings together the depth of a fine black tea and the delicacy of a spring bouquet.
Julien Huot crafted this blend for those who love flavoured teas without heaviness. To continue exploring floral teas, discover our organic black teas from the house.
The aromatic profile of violet black tea
On the nose, violet emerges first: powdery, almost candied, true to the flower you inhale on a spring morning. The scent recalls soft sugared almonds and the floral memories of an old-world tea house.
At the heart, the Assam base unfolds its malty roundness, with a gentle hint of honey. The mallow petals add a silky touch and a subtle vegetal note that balances the cup beautifully.
On the finish, the cup holds a lovely floral length, free of bitterness, with the lingering character that sets a truly exceptional flavoured black tea apart. To compare profiles, read our guide to green tea versus black tea.
How to brew violet tea
Use 13 g per litre, roughly one heaped teaspoon per 250 ml cup. Choose lightly mineralised water, freshly brought to 100°C, to honour the delicacy of the scent.
Steep for 3 to 5 minutes in a porcelain or glass teapot. Three minutes gives a tender, floral liquor; five minutes yields a fuller-bodied infusion where the Assam character comes forward.
Enjoy it plain, or add a splash of plant-based milk for a comforting cup. Served over ice, this violet tea is equally lovely with a twist of lemon. For further inspiration, explore the black teas our experts love most.
Storage
Keep this blend in its original tin, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Packaged in our workshop, it retains its floral scent for approximately 24 months.
