Preparation tips
Pear, Cocoa.
Bulk bag 100 grams.
Black tea with rich notes of cocoa wrapped in a sweet and fresh touch of pear.
Belle Hélène is the third of five creations that make up the “Collection des Contes”.
This collection was imagined as an ephemeris of the seasons by offering a tea or an infusion for each moment of the year, while associating its flavors with a story reminiscent of childhood.
Belle Hélène summer tea plays on a well-known association in pastry: chocolate and pear. It gives its name to an anthology dessert. To represent her, we chose Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in the world according to the Greek myth that recounts the Trojan War. It took no less to illustrate this delicious association. Powerful and smooth, Belle Hélène is enjoyed in the shade of a pear tree, cold or hot.
🌱 What is black tea?
Contrary to popular belief, black tea can be less rich in theine than green tea. Because it is not because it has more tannins (more bitter, thicker, more colored) that it will be more theinated than other colors of tea.
🍵 How to prepare your black tea properly
Black teas are less fragile than green or white teas, so they are prepared between 80 and 90°C.
A black tea will infuse for between 3 and 5 minutes. More, if you like your teas full-bodied. But be careful, the longer the infusion and the higher the water temperature, the more bitterness develops.
These instructions are important because they help preserve not only the taste of the tea, but also its health-giving properties.
❄️ Cold infusion
Put 10 to 20g of tea in 1L of cold or room temperature water. Divide into two disposable tea bags Le Jardin de Mademoiselle. Iced tea is not an exact science: the colder the water and the larger the container, the slower the tea will infuse. Taste after the first hour. If it does not have enough flavor, add 30 minutes. Taste every additional 30 minutes until its flavors are diffused into the water.
