Russian Tea

Description: There is Nevsky Prospect street covered with snow and a luxurious building in Art Nouveau style. Inside, a large library. On the first floor, an elegant café. When water is poured into the cup, the infusion unleashes its distinctive notes. Heavy and intense black tea. A sharp and pungent floral note. And this dry and unmistakably smoky taste that the campfires provided aims to keep the precious tea charge dry during the endless journey across Siberia. Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing touch to the hot water. A teaspoon of berries maintains the bitter taste of bark and birch without changing it. We drink it slowly, staring out the wide window, toward the beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan and beyond. Our Russian tea rituals today took us on an unexpected journey into remote lands, full of mystery and magic. "Russian tea is a journey, a day spent in Russia with boiling samovar, dominating the home as a center of socialization and sharing. The scent of black tea is strong and spreads throughout the house. It also evokes a tea journey across Siberia, where the scent of campfires takes you, conveying harsh conditions, explained by woody and leathery leaves. Fresh mint leaves blend incredibly well with the smoke, and the touch of berries and cinnamon sweetens the bitterness of the tea." - Julien Rasquinet, perfumer.
