Designed for Summer
5 teas and infusions selected from my range for their remarkable performance when iced, without losing their character when brewed hot.
Sun-Drenched Flavors
Strawberry, mint, mango, passion fruit, rhubarb, citrus: a complete panorama of the notes that make the summer season vibrate.
Arnaud's Selection
Every reference in this box is an exceptional product from my collection, chosen for its ability to reinvent itself in an iced pitcher.
Every year, the same question arises: should we pack away our favorite teas as soon as the warm days arrive, to only drink ready-made cold beverages? My answer has always been no. A good tea, properly steeped and then cooled, retains all its aromatic richness — often much more than a sugary industrial drink. This principle guided the composition of this box: five creations from my range, each designed for a double life, hot in a cup and iced in a pitcher.
I deliberately selected varied profiles — indulgent and minty, tropical, tangy, sunny — so that this box serves both as a discovery set and a gourmet reserve for the entire season.

Performance Hot vs Iced
Why a box designed for summer?
On my blog, I regularly explain how the art of cold infusion preserves the full aromas of a good tea — unlike industrial beverages often saturated with hidden sugars. Heat also slows down digestion: that is why this box includes ginger powder, known for reviving digestion thanks to its active gingerols, in addition to providing a refreshing and tonic effect appreciated during the hot season.
My selection, dish by dish
I have also documented harmonious pairings on my blog between my spices and light summer cuisine: chicken marinated with ginger and black pepper accompanied by an unsweetened iced Sencha green tea, for example. This box follows the same logic — beverages designed to accompany summer cuisine, not just to be drunk alone.
How to prepare each tea in the box
The iced method in 3 steps:
- Steep at double dosage compared to the usual dosage indicated on each pouch, to compensate for the later dilution of the ice cubes.
- Let cool completely at room temperature before placing in the refrigerator — pouring a hot tea directly over ice cubes risks sudden dilution and altering certain delicate aromas.
- Serve over ice cubes right before tasting, never in advance, to keep all the vivacity until the bottom of the glass.
Ginger-lemon detox water (bonus recipe)
Infuse a teaspoon of Ginger Powder with the juice of half a lemon in warm water, then mix in a shaker with crushed ice. A tonic beverage designed to speed up digestion and refresh simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can you really prepare all the teas in this box as iced versions?
Yes, the 4 teas and infusions in the box were chosen precisely for their ability to hold up both hot and iced. The principle is simple: steep at double dose, let cool, then serve over ice cubes.
Why not pour the hot tea directly over ice cubes?
This dilutes and cools the infusion too quickly, which can mask some of the aromas. It is better to let it cool at room temperature then in the refrigerator before serving over ice cubes at the last moment.
Is the ginger powder in the box only used for detox water?
That is its main use in this box, but it is also very useful in cooking, particularly for summer marinades and sauces.
How long can an already prepared iced infusion be kept?
About 24 hours in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Is this box suitable for people sensitive to caffeine?
The Brazilian Sun Rooibos is caffeine-free and suitable for the whole family at any time. The green teas in the box contain caffeine, to be consumed preferably during the day.
