Vital Impulse No. 07: The Rebirth of Body and Mind
Élan Vital N°07 – The Gourmet Detox
Feel the freshness of renewal. The Élan Vital N°07 infusion finally reconciles draining tradition with indulgence. Arnaud Sion has imagined an expert synergy where the strength of birch and nettle, plants traditionally associated with drainage, fades behind the natural sweetness of anise, fennel, and licorice.
More than just a simple herbal tea, it is a "Gourmet Detox": a light breeze, pleasant for digestion, carried by a naturally sweet and fresh liquor. Rosehip and verbena add a tart touch that awakens the taste buds. To be enjoyed hot or iced, from morning to evening, for a moment of lightness and a clear mind.

Green Strength
The Nettle & Birch duo brings the herbaceous structure of the blend, the basis of its character.
Aniseed Sweetness
Green anise, fennel, and licorice bring a soft and enveloping roundness, without any bitterness.
Vitamin Brilliance
Rosehip and lemon verbena bring an invigorating tartness and a crystalline lemony freshness.
There are times when the body craves lightness, a desire to rediscover a feeling of freshness. It is to accompany this desire for renewal that we selected Élan Vital N°07. Far from austere infusions that one drinks with a grimace, this herbal tea embraces pleasure. We have a simple conviction: a good infusion should never be a tasting punishment.
At Le Comptoir de Toamasina, we want to offer you herbal teas for a unique and complex tasting experience. Arnaud Sion wanted to offer you an herbal tea that will reconcile the herbaceous structure of traditional plants with vibrant, sweet, and refreshing aromatic notes. It offers a perfect balance between two worlds.
The secrets of the blend: green strength and sweetness
The challenge of this infusion was twofold: to propose a strong vegetal character while guaranteeing a delicious taste. For this, a synergy of seven plants is expressed, where each plays a specific role.
| Ingredient | Role in the blend |
|---|---|
| Stinging nettle | Once dried, it provides the green and herbaceous strength that gives the blend its vegetal backbone. |
| Birch | Its leaves bring a slight background bitterness, the structure on which the whole blend rests. |
| Fennel & Green Anise | They dress the herbaceous flavors with a warm and naturally sweet note that coats the whole blend. |
| Licorice | It acts as a natural binder, softens the texture of the liquor and leaves an exquisite length in the mouth. |
| Rosehip | The fruit of the dog rose, it brings an invigorating tart touch — the "Tonic" aspect of the Élan Vital name. |
| Lemon Verbena | It offers its crystalline lemony freshness, for an immediate sensation of clarity at the finish. |

Why choose Élan Vital N°07
An infusion of pleasure, not a chore
With its aniseed taste and natural sweetness, drinking this infusion becomes a pleasure rather than an effort — the idea behind Élan Vital is that doing yourself good starts with a beautiful taste experience.
An all-day infusion
Unlike green tea or mate, this blend contains no caffeine. You can drink it all day long, and even in the evening after dinner.
Preparation tips
For the nettle to reveal its structure and the fennel to express its roundness, the preparation requires a little attention.
- Temperature: 90°C, gently boiling water is enough.
- Dosage: 12g per liter — the precise dosage for a perfect balance between vegetal character and gustatory pleasure.
- Time: 6 to 10 minutes. At 6 minutes, a light infusion, focused on the freshness of verbena. At 10 minutes, a more full-bodied result — give the roots and seeds time to fully release their aromas.
