The name has the light of a morning, but Tisane Bonjour Soleil Bio is best enjoyed at the end of the day, like a memory of that brightness. Six ingredients only, all from organic farming, for an herbal infusion that embraces its simplicity.

Apple from Turkey opens the blend. Nettle, from Ukraine, Slovakia, Bulgaria and France, follows, along with Egyptian lemongrass. Fennel, chamomile and blackberry leaves complete the whole. One recognises here a classic balance: a fruit for roundness, two leaves for the herbaceous body, an aniseed seed, a flower, and a lemony herb for clarity.

Blond and green, it smells of the countryside at dawn. The liquor is golden. The apple first gives a round fruitiness; the nettle and blackberry leaf then bring a frank vegetal note, without harshness. The fennel adds a discreet aniseed note, the chamomile its honeyed sweetness, and the lemongrass lights the finish with a citrus touch that prevents the whole from becoming heavy.

Naturally caffeine-free, it suits the evening as well as an afternoon break. One litre requires 12 to 15 g; the water must reach 100 °C, and the infusion should last seven to ten minutes, no longer. Its gentle sweetness makes it easy to share, from the youngest to the eldest.

It pairs with a honey toast, a yoghurt cake, a compote. We prepare it to order, by the weight you choose; at home, keep it in a closed container, dry and in the dark.
