Our view on this tea

Canada is the only one of our "travel" teas whose country of inspiration is Nordic and not tropical — and that's exactly what we liked about it. Where our Brazilian teas play on the sun and citrus fruits, this one evokes the boreal forest, autumn, the undergrowth. The fruits we have chosen are not the usual "candy" red fruits: elderberry and blackcurrant bring an almost wild, slightly harsh depth, which fits the imagery of the great outdoors.

That's why we start with a truly full-bodied black tea base (8.5/10, one of the most powerful in our range): we needed a tea that could stand up to these deep berries, not an erased tea. The result is a morning tea that wakes you up, but which also lends itself remarkably well to baking and especially to infused rums — the woodland fruit side goes beautifully with amber rum.

The red fruits of the Far North

Canada, with its immense boreal forests that cover a large part of its territory, is a land of gathering. The First Nations peoples have for millennia harvested the wild berries that grow in the undergrowth and clearings: blueberries, raspberries, currants, elderberries, cranberries. These small fruits, bursting with flavor from the long northern summer days, are a pillar of Canadian food culture.

Our tea pays tribute to this imagery: that of a walk in the forest at the end of summer, where berries are picked by hand. Elderberry brings deep and slightly musky notes, blackcurrant a vibrant acidity, while strawberry and raspberry round off the whole with their sweetness. On a robust black tea, this bouquet becomes a tea with character, a thousand miles from overly sweet fruity teas — a real terroir tea, even if this terroir is reinvented.

Comparative Sensory Analysis

Canadian vs Sensual vs Plain black tea

Two red fruit black teas from the range, and the plain tea

Wild red fruits · Elderberry-Blackcurrant
Strawberry-Raspberry · Sweet
Acidity · Vibrant
Body · Black tea tannin
Canadian (Ours)
Sensual (strawberry-cranberry)
Plain black tea

The wildest of the red fruits: both teas feature red fruits, but the Canadian takes on a much harsher, forest and deeper side (elderberry, blackcurrant) on an extremely full-bodied tea base. The Sensual, for its part, is rounder and more velvety with its strawberry-cranberry duo. To sum up: the Canadian is the boreal forest; the Sensual is the sunny orchard.

How to prepare Red Fruits Black Tea

  1. Measure: about 2 grams for each 250 ml of water. Adjust to your taste.
  2. Heat the water: to 85-90°C. Hot water is essential to fully release the richness and acidity of the red fruits without burning the leaf.
  3. Steep: 3 to 4 minutes (up to 5 for more intense aromas and tannins).
  4. The Indian Method: thanks to its great power, steep for 2 to 3 minutes in a little water then top up with 1/3 hot milk, for a very comforting creamy drink.

The "homemade" recipe (for 100g)

  • Very full-bodied Black Tea (Assam or Ceylon): 70g
  • Dried elderberries: 10g
  • Freeze-dried raspberry: 5g
  • Dried strawberry in pieces: 5g
  • Blackcurrants: 10g

Gently mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. If you have high-quality natural red fruit flavors, gently fold them in. Store in an airtight glass jar away from light and humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does this tea contain?
Our exclusive blend contains elderberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackcurrants — forming a bouquet of wild red fruits, much more woody and deeper than classic red fruit teas.
Why is the black tea base so strong (8.5/10)?
To stand up to deep fruits like elderberry and blackcurrant, a truly robust, full-bodied and structured black tea was needed, otherwise the tea would have totally faded behind the fruits.
Can it be drunk with milk?
Yes, absolutely. Thanks to the power of its tannic base, you can brew it using the Indian method (strong infusion in a little water, then topped up with 1/3 hot milk). The milk will round out the acidity of the wild berries.
What is the difference with the Sensual tea from the range?
The Canadian is a "forest" tea: very full-bodied, wild, with the astringency of elderberry and blackcurrant. The Sensual tea is an "orchard" tea: much rounder, velvety and gourmet, centered on strawberry and cranberry on a multi-tea base.

"An immersive walk in the boreal forests — elderberry, blackcurrant and wild raspberry on an extremely robust black tea."
