Autumn tea

Our guide to autumn teas

Temperatures drop and the leaves change colour: it’s time to get the teapot out. Autumn tea is the perfect companion for your cosy moments.

The different types of autumn tea

Rich and generous, autumn teas are recognisable above all by their aromas.

Spiced teas are among the favourites. Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves: their warming notes are perfect for chilly days.

Indulgent teas also come into their own at this time of year. Inspired by autumn desserts, they evoke caramel, vanilla, chestnut, hazelnut and biscuits. Some blends add fruit, such as apple, pear or fig, for an even more generous cup.

These signature ingredients of the season give autumn blends their richness and make every cup a comforting experience.

Green, black or white tea: which is the best tea for autumn?

There’s no single best tea for autumn: it all comes down to personal taste.

Black tea is often the season’s go-to, thanks to its rich aroma. Its full-bodied character pairs beautifully with spices, dried fruit and indulgent notes.

Green tea offers a lighter, more vegetal alternative. Paired with autumn fruits or gentle spices, it offers balanced flavours while retaining its freshness.

White tea charms with its delicate character. More subtle, it brings out refined ingredients such as pear, flowers and delicate spices. It’s a lovely choice if you’re looking for an elegant cup with little tannin.

Autumn infusions: a theine-free alternative

Varied and gentle, autumn infusions are naturally free from theine. Enjoy them at any time of day, even in the evening.

Blends often combine pieces of apple, hibiscus, rosehip, rooibos, cinnamon or orange peel. The result: rounded, indulgent flavours that evoke autumn harvests and pleasures.

Especially popular at this time of year, rooibos has a smooth, warming character. It pairs beautifully with spices and notes of cooked fruit.
