Flavoured tea

Flavoured tea is simply tea with added ingredients or flavourings that enrich its original taste. That’s what appeals to curious newcomers and connoisseurs alike: there isn’t just one flavoured tea, but a thousand. Each suits a different craving, time of day or mood.

At Kusmi Tea, we use only natural flavourings and organic ingredients, chosen one by one to create indulgent blends full of character.

An endlessly diverse world to explore

Every blend tells a story, and there’s one for every mood, every moment and every season.

Flavoured green tea is a firm favourite for those who enjoy something light. Its natural freshness pairs beautifully with fruit, flowers and botanical notes. Served hot in winter or cold-brewed in summer, it fits easily into a wellbeing routine.

Fruit tea is perhaps the most universally appealing. Strawberry, raspberry, mango, peach, red berries… these blends are indulgent, colourful and instantly enticing, often revealing a delightful aromatic complexity too.

Citrus teas strike a bright, invigorating note. Lemon, bergamot, orange, grapefruit and mandarin bring zest and energy, with an acidity always softened by a rounded flavour.

Floral teas are for those seeking delicacy. Rose, jasmine, lavender, hibiscus and orange blossom lend the cup a light, subtle fragrance, as lovely to look at as it is to taste.

Spiced teas warm and comfort. Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, pepper and cloves lend depth and warmth, especially welcome in autumn and winter. Chai is their most iconic expression.

Flavoured black tea is for those who love bold flavours. Spices, ripe fruit, vanilla and caramel come together in rich, comforting blends, like the ever-popular Earl Grey.

Indulgent teas evoke the pleasures of patisserie: vanilla, caramel, chocolate, almond, speculoos… Sweetness in a cup, ideal for a sweet break without excess.

How do you choose flavoured tea?

The right question is not “what is the best flavoured tea?” but rather: for which moment, for which desire?

• In the morning: freshness and zest with citrus teas and flavoured green teas.
• In the afternoon: a little sweetness with fruity and floral teas and rounder blends.
• In the evening: unwind with indulgent blends, rooibos and caffeine-free infusions.
  

Some flavoured teas are also perfectly suited to cold brewing: lighter and more refreshing, they offer a new interpretation of flavour.

Is there a difference between flavoured tea and scented tea?

Scented tea generally gets its flavour through direct contact with flowers or other natural ingredients, as with jasmine tea, for example. Flavoured tea is a broader term for any tea enhanced with flavours, whether from pieces of fruit, essential oils or flavourings. In practice, the two terms are often used interchangeably.
