L' Ambroisie

In Greek mythology, ambrosia was reserved for the gods; a mysterious delicacy whose aroma and flavour could only be the stuff of mortal dreams. What ambrosia actually was remained a mystery throughout the ages. Perhaps it was precisely this elusiveness that made it so alluring: sweet and fragrant, hovering somewhere between flowers, ripe fruit, and precious nectar. L’Ambrosie takes its name from this mythical delicacy and from the concept of a flavor that defies immediate definition.

A refined green tea base sets the stage for rose petals and the lush fragrance of cherry blossom and raspberry. Beneath the soft fruit and floral notes emerges a surprisingly warm, almost almond-like nuance, lending the blend its distinctive character. This tea evokes not so much an exuberant fruit platter as a small, sweet temptation: fragrant, rounded, and subtly mysterious; a contemporary interpretation of nectar for the gods.
