Description
La Bohème is a creation inspired by Giacomo Puccini's opera and the atmosphere of bohemian Paris.
At the heart of this blend, Shui Xian, an oolong tea with woody notes, meets the fruity sweetness of fig and date.
Madagascar vanilla brings a delicate roundness, while a few marigold petals naturally complete the composition.
The whole evokes a warm sweetness, between the depth of tea, ripe fruit and vanilla notes.
No added flavourings.
THE INSPIRATION
Paris, its artists' studios, its cafés and its love stories.
First performed in 1896, Giacomo Puccini's opera La Bohème tells of the youth of a few Parisian artists, between friendship, passion and the fragility of happy moments.
From the meeting of Mimì and Rodolfo to the bustle of the Café Momus, Puccini's music lets joy of life and nostalgia coexist.
It is this balance between warmth and melancholy that inspired HOLLIN's La Bohème.
A creation where the woody depth of Shui Xian meets the sweetness of fruit and vanilla.
Ingredients
