A green tea with citrus and floral notes, created by Palais des Thés for the Guimet Museum of Asian Arts.

The Guimet Museum Tea is a refined blend of green tea with a fresh, flowery fragrance reminiscent of cherry blossom and citrus fruit. Cornflower petals are sprinkled throughout this delicate recipe.

This tea was created to pay tribute to Emile Guimet, founder of the eponymous museum. The cornflower petals are a nod to the "Guimet blue", also known as "artificial ultramarine", invented by Jean-Baptiste Guimet, Emile's father.

The citrus fruits and cherry blossoms symbolise the period in Japan during which Emile Guimet began to gather the first objects of what would later become one of the most renowned collections in France relating to the Asian world.

Preparation tips: Take 8 g of tea leaves for 50 cl of filtered water and heat to 75°. Brew for 3 minutes.

Ingredients: Green tea (China) (94%), flavourings, flower petals (cornflower, sunflower, safflower) (1%), lemon and orange peel (1%), cardamom, ginger, orange blossom
