Description
Four distinctive and refined miniatures that honour the complete splendour of the Louvre and encourage exploration of its past, its galleries and its iconic masterpieces.
The journey begins at the Louvre museum: a remarkable institution that conjures the heritage of France and the world's artistic legacy. Thé du Louvre – côté cour (black tea - 35g) is infused with citrus notes and wild blackberry flavours that enliven the tasting with grace and sophistication.
The tour proceeds to the Greco-Roman Antiquities collection, featuring Jardin de Vénus (50g): this infusion captures the glow of Mediterranean sunshine, a leisurely walk in a garden adorned with pale blooms and citrus fruits. The mellow sweetness of vanilla, the vibrant tang of orange and the richness of carob stroke the palate, creating an experience at once tender and robust, alternately enfolding and refreshing, like an awaited gust of wind.
The exploration moves onward into the Egyptian Antiquities section with its magnificent treasures. The infusion Nuit Égyptienne (30g) transports you into a vivacious evening suffused with oriental movements and an air of grandeur and festivity. Crisp and refined, it conjures the cool of a night beside the Nile. Tones of spearmint, elderflower and bilberry temper the day's intense warmth and elegantly signal the awakening of the oriental evening.
The tour concludes with an amble through the Jardin des Tuileries, possessing eternal appeal, nestled in the heart of the City of Light. Flanked by the Seine and the palace, the paths of the Tuileries have summoned Parisians to wander and celebrate throughout the ages. Thé du Louvre – côté jardin (green tea - 30g) is a sumptuous tea with notes of apple, plum and quince, drawn from a serene stroll amid flowering borders and leafy thickets.
