Arnaud, creator of Le Comptoir de Toamasina, offers you an incredible, bold-tasting and unique herbal tea. Mate, like coffee or tea, is a natural source of caffeine: it is the daily drink of Brazilians, pacing the days from Copacabana to the terraces of Rio. Integrate Carioca Herbal Tea into your routine and let yourself be carried away by a dynamic infusion promising a genuine taste journey in the true Carioca style.
Arnaud's take on this herbal tea
This herbal tea is my postcard from Rio in infusion form. I wanted to marry two iconic beverages of the Southern Hemisphere: rooibos, the smooth, caffeine-free 'red tea' of South Africa, and mate, the cult drink of Brazilians and Argentinians shared among friends in a gourd. Mate brings the invigorating, lively touch — it is a natural source of caffeine, just like the coffee I drink in quantity during my travels.
On top of this base, I added flavors that, to me, smell like Brazil: ginger, orange peel, cardamom and a touch of liquorice. The result is an infusion that tastes as good hot in winter as it does iced on a beach in summer, and even finds its way into my cachaça cocktails. It is a tea for pleasure and sharing, in the laid-back Carioca spirit.
Composition: A symphony of ingredients
Let yourself be seduced by the unique composition of Carioca Herbal Tea. More than a tea, it is an invitation to travel:
- Rooibos & Green Mate: combining the soothing sweetness of Rooibos with the tonic character of mate, a natural source of caffeine.
- Warm Spices: notes of liquorice and ginger to awaken the senses and add depth to the infusion.
- Citrus Freshness: orange peel zests reminiscent of sunny Rio mornings.
- Signature Touch: cardamom, with its lemony, minty notes, adds a unique exotic dimension.
