Adventurers (Our selection)

Madagascar Escape

Plain black tea

Guarana makes the difference: the Adventurers use an Indian chai-style spice base, but add Brazilian guarana — its earthy note and deep body (Kerala and Assam base) make it a tea with a strong character. Where the Madagascar Escape plays the sweetness of vanilla, the Adventurers take on a rawer and more stimulating profile.

Why choose the Adventurers' Black Tea

The exoticism of spices: from the warmth of cinnamon to the pungent sweetness of pink pepper, a spice market that comes alive from the first sip.
The touch of guarana: Brazilian guarana, a plant from the Amazon rainforest naturally a source of caffeine, adds an earthy note and a very distinctive character.
The robustness of black tea: Indian black teas (Kerala and Assam) offer a solid, rich and very structured base.
The sweetness of vanilla: Madagascar vanilla balances the spices and enriches the aromatic profile.

How to prepare the Adventurers' Black Tea

Measure: about 2 grams of tea for each 250 ml of water.
Heat the water: to 85-90°C, ideal to extract the richness of the spices and guarana without burning the black tea.
Steep: 3 to 4 minutes (up to 5 for a more pronounced and spicy flavor).
Enjoy: strain and dive into the adventure. Indian style: steep for 2 to 3 minutes and add 1/3 hot milk, like a Chai!

The "homemade" recipe (for 100g)

Full-bodied Black Tea from India (Kerala or Assam): 70g
Madagascar Vanilla in pieces: 5g
Crushed cinnamon: 8g
Pink berries: 5g
Black peppercorns: 2g
Guarana powder from Brazil: 5g
Spice mix (cardamom, nutmeg): 5g

Gently mix all the dry ingredients so that the guarana coats the tea leaves well. Store in an airtight glass container away from light.

250 ml pineapple juice
100 ml cane sugar syrup
Fresh cut fruit (oranges, apples) and ice cubes

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does guarana bring to this tea?

Originating from the Brazilian Amazon basin, guarana brings a characteristic note, slightly earthy and woody. Above all, it is a plant naturally rich in guaranine (a molecule identical to caffeine), which reinforces the tonic aspect of black tea.

What is the difference with a classic chai tea?

It is a bold interpretation of chai. It uses the base of an Indian spiced black tea (cinnamon, pepper, cardamom) but adds Madagascar vanilla for sweetness, and Brazilian guarana for character.

At what temperature should I steep it?

The ideal is between 85 and 90°C. If you steep it too hot or too long (more than 5 minutes in water), the Assam tea will develop a lot of astringency.

What is the difference with Madagascar Escape tea?

The Madagascar Escape tea is sweeter, dominated by vanilla and cinnamon. The Adventurers offer a more full-bodied, earthy and stimulating profile thanks to the deep Assam tea and the addition of guarana.

"A true gustatory expedition — full-bodied black tea, world spices and Brazilian guarana, the boldest in our range."
