Ligne combines lemongrass, chicory, rooibos, pineapple pieces, dandelion, orange peel and liquorice with natural mandarin flavouring. Calme brings together honeybush, orange peel, lemongrass, verbena, orange blossom, sweet fennel, black cumin, cornflower petals, lavender flowers and natural orange blossom flavouring. Digestif is decidedly herbal: rosemary, sage, Provence thyme, peppermint, anise, liquorice, basil, cinnamon, rose buds, rose petals and bergamot essential oil.

Tonique leans on nana mint, orange peel, ginger, lemon peel, cinnamon, green maté, ginseng and cloves. Délice mixes verbena, marjoram, rose petals, cocoa nibs, poppy petals, red vine leaf, marigold and cornflower petals with natural orange flavouring. Détox is built from apple pieces, lemongrass, juniper berries, hibiscus, blackcurrant, nettle and green maté with natural blackcurrant flavouring. Worth noting when choosing a blend late in the day: Tonique and Détox both contain green maté.

Pour water at 95 °C over the bag and let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes. That guidance applies to the blends in this box. Keep the box in a cool, dry place.

On allergens: possible traces of nuts. If that matters to you, the full ingredient lists are printed inside the lid.

When you hand the box over, point out the compartments: the number and blend name on each bag make it easy to remember which infusion went down best. For a tea evening for two, line up two or three blends and compare them straight from the pot.

If you want a larger present, pair the box with a mug or a teapot. Once opened, the hinged box keeps working as storage for the remaining bags, kept cool and dry. And if you are curious yourself before wrapping it, the lists inside the lid tell you what goes into each blend.
