São Paulo Inspiration

A profile designed for mixology, evoking the hectic and festive life of the Paulista metropolis.

The Paulista Escape green tea is a journey into the world of citrus. It got its name because it is part of the creation of our famous "Soleil Paulista" cocktail. You will love its intense citrus notes, as they evoke the energy of São Paulo, a city where modernity meets tradition. This flavored green tea is an invitation to explore the richness of flavors and the Brazilian art of living.

It offers, once steeped, a fresh and zesty flavor. The sweetness of the green tea harmonizes with the sparkling citrus, offering a perfect balance between delicacy and liveliness. Far from the tannic power of black tea or the strength of mate, this tea stands out for its light base that takes your taste buds on a sensory journey, sweetened by a touch of Pai Mu Tan white tea. Whether you prefer it hot for a moment of relaxation or iced for an explosion of freshness, it is your ticket for a Brazilian getaway.

A word from Arnaud Sion

"The name of this tea is linked to the cocktail I made in São Paulo in 2018, during a fair. The Soleil Paulista Cocktail, prepared with this citrus green tea, was such a success that the recipe ended up naming the tea!"

"By choosing the Paulista Escape Green Tea, you embrace the vibrant soul of São Paulo. It is the guarantee of a great escape with every tasting."

Arnaud's view on this tea

This one has a real birth date: 2018, in São Paulo. I had prepared a cocktail to let visitors taste this tea — the Soleil Paulista, with cachaça, passion fruit and this infused citrus tea. The success was such that the tea ended up taking the name of the city. It is one of my rare products whose history is so precisely anchored in a memory.

São Paulo is not the Brazilian postcard of beaches: it is the megacity, the energy, the speed, the mix. I wanted a selection that reflected that — lively, tonic, urban. Hence the choice of multiple citrus fruits rather than a single fruit, and a Sencha + Pai Mu Tan base strong enough to hold up in a cocktail without diluting. It is the green counterpart to our Paulista Escape black tea: same citrus spirit, but in a fresh and light version.

São Paulo, the megacity of citrus

São Paulo is not only the largest city in Brazil and the Southern Hemisphere, with over 12 million inhabitants: it is also the heart of the world's largest citrus-growing region. The State of São Paulo alone produces a considerable share of the world's orange juice — the citrus orchards of the Paulista interior stretch as far as the eye can see and feed an industry that exports worldwide.

This tea pays tribute to this very Paulista contrast: on one side the bustling megacity, its modernity, its nightlife; on the other, the immense citrus plantations that surround it. By bringing together orange, lemon and a hint of bergamot on a delicate green tea, the Paulista puts this city and sunny energy into the cup — a tea designed from the start for mixology and sharing.

Comparative Sensory Analysis

Green Paulista vs Black Paulista vs Carioca

The same citrus spirit in three versions

Citrus · Orange-Lemon
Freshness · Green vegetal
Body · Tannin
Sweetness · Roundness
Green Paulista (Ours)
Black Paulista
Carioca (orange)

Green vs black, the same citrus blend: Paulista exists in two versions. The black one, full-bodied and tannic, is a powerful morning tea; the green one (this one) keeps the same citrus signature but is fresher, lighter, with the sweetness of Pai Mu Tan. Carioca relies mainly on orange alone. Green Paulista is the most versatile for mixology.
