Paradis Fruité - Échantillon

The loose leaf green tea base is surprisingly full-bodied, and those bright tropical fruit notes actually hold up through the whole cup instead of fading. I brewed a big pot this afternoon and the pineapple-mango sweetness made it dangerously easy to keep refilling.

The dry leaves smell like a tropical vacation, but once steeped, the green tea body keeps it grounded and refreshing, not syrupy. I’ve been reaching for this every afternoon when I need a gentle pick-me-up without the jitters, and the mango-pineapple balance is just right.

The pineapple and mango notes are so bright they actually make the green tea taste juicier, not bitter at all. I brewed a big mug this afternoon and the tropical aroma filled the whole kitchen. This is my new go-to for a midday pick-me-up.
