Our view on this tea

Aracaju is a city that few tourists know — the capital of Sergipe, the smallest state in Brazil, wedged in the Northeast between Bahia and Alagoas. This is exactly why it touches us: it is the authentic Brazil, that of covered markets, stalls of stacked pineapples and oranges, far from the clichés. This tea is a tribute to this tropical Brazilian market atmosphere.

The pineapple-orange-cinnamon trio is no coincidence: it is a pairing found in the juices and desserts of the Northeast. The pineapple brings the juicy and tart side, the orange the sweetness, and the cinnamon — which we know well because we source it — brings a spicy warmth that prevents the whole thing from being too "fruit juice". A moderate black tea base that does not mask the fruits: it is a gourmet and accessible tea, designed as much for the morning infusion as for a festive infused rum.

Aracaju and Sergipe: an unknown Brazil

Aracaju is the capital of Sergipe, the smallest state in Brazil by area, nestled in the Northeast region. Founded in 1855, it is one of the first Brazilian cities to have been planned, with a characteristic checkerboard layout. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, it is renowned for its urban beaches, its bustling markets and a gentle way of life typical of the Northeast.

The region, with its hot tropical climate, is a generous agricultural land where citrus and tropical fruits grow. Aracaju's covered markets, like the famous Mercado Municipal, overflow with pineapples, oranges, passion fruit and spices. It is this imagery of a tropical, colorful and fragrant market that this tea seeks to capture — a garden in a cup, where fruit and spice meet like on a sunny Sergipe stall.

Comparative Sensory Analysis

Aracaju vs Carioca vs Sun of Brazil

Three Brazilian tropical black teas from the range

Pineapple · Juicy tropical

Orange · Sweet citrus

Spices · Cinnamon-Ginger

Body · Black tea tannin

Aracaju (Ours)

Carioca (ginger-mango)

Sun of Brazil (passion-mango)

Pineapple and cinnamon as a signature: all three are tropical black teas, but Aracaju stands out for its dominant juicy pineapple and comforting cinnamon — it is the most "dessert" and the sweetest of the Brazilian selection. Carioca is spicier (ginger), Sun of Brazil is more tart (passion fruit). Three different Brazilian markets in the cup.

How to prepare Aracaju Garden Black Tea

Measure: about 2 grams of tea for each 250 ml cup of water. Adjust to your taste.
Heat the water: up to 90-95°C. Water that is too hot or boiling can make the tea bitter and kill the citrus.
Steep: 3 to 5 minutes. For a stronger taste, extend to 7 minutes.
Enjoy: strain and enjoy. This fruity blend is also delicious in an iced version!

The "homemade" recipe (for 100g)

Black tea (Assam or Ceylon): 80g
Dried pineapple cut into small cubes: 10g
Crushed cinnamon: 5g
Dried orange zest: 4g
Natural flavor or essential oil of pineapple and orange: 1g

Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the natural flavor and mix gently. Store in an airtight glass container away from light.
