With this composition, I offer a vitamin-rich fruity symphony. The tonic acidity of sea buckthorn and cranberry is softened by the malty backbone of black tea, while the lemongrass provides a very fresh herbal finish. A balanced, lively, and comforting liquor.

IngredientsThe union of strength and berry

The architecture of this blend relies on a deliberate contrast between tannic strength and vitamin brightness.

The black tea base

Black tea (85% of the blend) provides a structured backbone. Its malty and woody notes act as a backdrop, supporting the fruit acidity to prevent it from becoming too harsh.

The brightness of berries and aromatics

Sea buckthorn (very rich in vitamin C) and cranberry (known for its antioxidants) bring intense sweet-tart notes. Lemongrass ties everything together by offering a fresh and slightly herbal finish that lightens the cup.

ExpertiseMy selection for a tonic tea

I formulated this blend to offer an alternative to overly sweet fruity black teas. Here, it is the natural acidity of the berry that energizes the tasting.

For whom?

  • To discover: The enthusiast seeking an effective, lively, and fruity wake-up tea, without the bitterness of classic citrus.
  • For the amateur: The drinker of fruity infusions looking to add a stimulating base (black tea) to their consumption habits.
  • For the enthusiast: The connoisseur who appreciates functional blends, combining the pleasure of tea with the natural properties (vitamin C, antioxidants) of sea buckthorn.

TipsMy extraction protocol

Reference preparation

The tart balance of this blend requires water at 90°C. Use 2.5 grams of leaves for 250 ml of water. Infuse for 3 minutes to preserve the fruit’s liveliness without letting the astringency of black tea dominate.

Variations

  • Vitamin-rich iced version: Cold brew (5g of blend in 1L of water in the refrigerator for 8 hours). The absence of heat blocks tannin extraction to reveal only the sweetness of the red berries.
  • Smoother infusion: For a more delicate cup late in the afternoon, reduce the temperature to 85°C and limit the infusion to 2 minutes.
The art of sharing: Serve this tea at a summer brunch. Its red fruit notes and tart tension pair wonderfully with pastries and jams.
FAQFrequently Asked Questions
Benefits What are the benefits of sea buckthorn?

Sea buckthorn is known for its exceptional concentration of vitamin C (up to 20 times that of an orange). It brings a bright tart note for a lively, fruity, and thirst-quenching infusion.

Balance Is the taste very acidic?

The natural acidity of sea buckthorn and cranberry is balanced by the round structure of black tea and softened by lemongrass. It’s a pleasant and refreshing liveliness without being harsh.

Energy Does this tea contain a lot of caffeine?

Yes, its majority base of black tea (85%) offers a moderate to high caffeine content (about 50 mg per cup), making it an excellent companion for the morning or a dynamic afternoon break.

Iced Can it be prepared as a cold infusion?

Absolutely. Cold-brewed for 6 to 8 hours in the refrigerator, this blend produces a very refreshing drink where the tart notes of the berries come through even more clearly, without any bitterness.
