The aromatic profile of Bonne Humeur tea
As soon as it brews, the fragrance rises, bright and sun-warmed. The top notes immediately evoke red fruit confectionery: ripe raspberry, morello cherry, wild strawberry. A generous sweetness, never heavy.
In the heart of the cup, cherry comes forward and meets candied papaya and pineapple, which bring an almost sun-kissed tropical roundness. Rose petals add a delicate floral nuance that brings the whole together in balance.
On the finish, vanilla settles gently over the vegetal backbone of the Sencha. Grape coated in vegetable oil rounds out the liquor and gives it that slightly syrupy softness that defines the finest fruit blends.
The liquor, clear and golden, carries the scent of a fresh fruit basket. A bright, generous infusion that appeals to green tea lovers and those with a sweeter palate alike. To further explore fruity and vanilla notes, try our Jardin d'Alice Black Tea, rounder and with hints of chocolate.
How to brew Bonne Humeur green tea
Getting this fruity Sencha just right comes down to three simple things: water temperature, steeping time and dosage. Three benchmarks are all you need to unlock the full aromatic range of this blend.
The water: heat soft, low-mineral water to 70 to 80°C. Any hotter and the Sencha releases too much bitterness, masking the delicacy of the fruit. If you don't have a temperature-controlled kettle, bring the water to a gentle simmer, then let it rest for two to three minutes.
The dosage: use 12 to 15 g per litre, roughly a heaped tablespoon for a large teapot. This generous measure allows the papaya, pineapple and flower petals to fully contribute to the cup's profile.
The time: steep for 2 to 3 minutes, then strain the leaves to preserve the freshness of the liquor. Steeping longer won't improve anything: the Sencha would turn astringent and overwhelm the fruity aromas.
Iced: double the dosage, brew hot in a small amount of water, then pour over ice cubes and a few fresh raspberries. A luminous drink for summer afternoons. For more on brewing rituals, visit When to drink green tea.
Storage
To preserve the aromatic freshness of this blend, keep it in an airtight container, away from light, moisture and strong odours. A dry cupboard, well away from spices, is all you need.
Avoid the refrigerator, which can damage the leaves. Stored properly, this tea will hold its fruity brightness for several months. Enjoy our green teas through every season, brewed loose-leaf in your favourite teapot.
