Brewing Instructions

A visit to the French village of Giverny was the inspiration behind this chocolaty tisane. And why not Giverny was the inspiration for some of the world's best-known paintings. The famous French impressionist Claude Monet called the village home for nearly 45 years and painted some of his best-known works there. The pretty little spot is built along two streets running up a hillside lined with low houses covered in Wisteria and Virginia creeping vines - it is an exceptionally beautiful place. But even more beautiful is Monet's garden tucked in behind his old chateau. To say it is lush is an understatement - broad leafy trees flowers of every color and tropical plants literally fill every corner. The garden is built around a pond crisscrossed by a number of Japanese-style footbridges and filled with Koi. To laze away a warm afternoon there is like spending the day in heaven itself.It is that feeling that we have tried to capture in this wonderful tea. Based on a South African Rooibos the blend offers mellow herbal notes offset by tones of rich chocolate reminiscent of a traditional French chocolat chaud (Monet's favorite).
