Good to know: this tea is very successful and sometimes experiences temporary stock shortages. If this is the case, do not hesitate to discover our Dazzling Rhubarb Green Tea (strawberry-rhubarb) or our Lovers' Green Tea (cherry-raspberry-vanilla), in the same red fruit spirit.

A word from Arnaud Sion

"I have selected for you this symphony of flavors capable of making you feel the simple joy of a perfect summer day. In this strawberry raspberry green tea, you will discover all this sunshine in a cup of tea."

Arnaud's view on this tea

Gourmand is my "gateway" tea. The one I recommend to people who think they don't like green tea, or to families who want a tea that children will drink with pleasure. Strawberry and raspberry are immediately reassuring, they evoke childhood, syrup, fruits from the garden. No strong tannins, no off-putting bitterness: just fruit and vegetal sweetness.

But beware, "easy" does not mean "sloppy": I build it on a real Chinese Sencha base, with real fruit pieces and rose petals, not just an aroma on anonymous tea. The secret is to keep the raspberry present enough to bring that little liveliness that prevents the strawberry from falling into excess sweetness. It's a tea of simple pleasure, and I totally assume it — not all teas need to be complex to be excellent.

Strawberry and raspberry: the timeless red duo

Strawberry (Fragaria) and raspberry (Rubus idaeus) are two emblems of summer red fruits. Fun botanical fact: neither of them are "true" fruits in the strict sense. The strawberry is a "false fruit" — what we eat is the fleshy receptacle of the flower, the real fruits being the small seeds (achenes) on its surface. The raspberry is an aggregate fruit, an assembly of dozens of small drupes.

Their association is a pastry classic precisely because they perfectly complement each other: strawberry brings sweet roundness, raspberry tangy liveliness and deep aroma. It is this balance that Gourmand Green Tea reproduces in infusion — a consensual and joyful accord, which works just as well hot as it does in iced tea.

Comparative Sensory Analysis

Gourmand vs Dazzling Rhubarb vs Lovers'

Three red fruit green teas from the range

Strawberry · Sweet gourmand
Raspberry · Bright red fruit
Acidity · Rhubarb/Cherry
Vanilla · Roundness
Gourmand (Our selection)
Dazzling Rhubarb
Lovers'

The most consensual of the three: Gourmand plays the pure strawberry-raspberry duo, without marked acidity or excessive vanilla — it is the most "family-friendly" and accessible. Rhubarb brings a nice tart tension, and Lovers' add the roundness of Madagascar vanilla. Three ways to decline red fruits on green tea.

  • Dried strawberries: 10g
