Fleur de Cerisier · Jujube is a fruit infusion, naturally caffeine-free, with an intensity of 2 out of 5. Its base combines pieces of grilled and white apple, hibiscus and rosehip peel. Jujube, also known as Chinese date, makes up 3%, alongside pieces of freeze-dried raspberry, red cornflower petals and a natural flavouring.

What does it taste like?

A floral and fruity taste, with a honeyed hint. The apple and hibiscus give a fruity, slightly tart base, which the jujube softens. A tender cup, which can be served at any time since it contains no caffeine, including in the evening.

How should it be prepared?

• Measure: 13 to 15 g per litre, or about 12 to 13.5 g for a 0.9 l teapot.
• Water temperature: 100 °C.
• Steeping time: 5 to 8 minutes.

A transparent teapot such as the 0.9 l Finn glass teapot, with its stainless steel micro-filter, lets you watch the liquor deepen in colour over the minutes. The 5-minute mark on the stainless steel tea timer marks the start of the recommended range.

Hot or iced?

Both: it is savoured hot as well as iced. For the cold version, our iced tea guide explains the methods. You will find other caffeine-free blends in our herbal teas section, and the difference between the two words in our guide tisane ou infusion.
