Winter Stars: the tasting menu that makes the season shine

Étoiles d’hiver : le menu de dégustation qui fait briller la saison

Some winters are a little… long. And then there are those we tame with gentle rituals: soft lighting, a cozy blanket, and a warm cup of coffee that feels good. That's exactly what we envisioned with our new theme: Winter Stars.

T•Surprise has offered you a tasting menu designed like a winter walk: warm, comforting, gourmet… and a touch magical.

The Winter Stars tasting menu (the treasures in your box)

1) English Breakfast black tea — Nina's Paris

A great classic with robust and malty notes, ideal for starting your winter mornings with elegance and energy. 

  • Perfect moment: misty morning + a desire to “GO, let’s go.”
  • Infusion: 90° – 4 min 
  • Surprise Tip: a cloud of milk (or plant-based drink) = chic brunch vibe.

2) Camellia Mao Feng — Camellia Sinensis

This delicate, locally sourced tea evokes the gentleness of winter. 

  • Perfect moment: quiet afternoon / reading / late afternoon light
  • Profile: smooth, elegant, slightly spicy and zesty
  • Infusion: 75° – 2 to 3 min 
  • T•Surprise tip: enjoy without sugar to let the subtlety of the aromas shine through.

3) Mint Chocolate Black Tea — Zyo

A rich black tea, with aromas of fresh mint and dark chocolate, like an after-dinner treat in brewed form.   Okay. This one is definitely the dessert cup . The kind of tea that makes you say, "I just wanted an infusion..." and then you end up having an experience.

  • Perfect moment: after dinner / movie / unapologetically pajama-clad
  • Infusion: 90° – 4 min 
  • T•Surprise tip: excellent with your flavored sugar (if you want a “wow” cup).

4) Strawberry Banana Green Tea — Provence of Yesteryear

A fruity and comforting combination of strawberry and banana, reminiscent of childhood treats under a cozy blanket. This is the "I want simple happiness" tea. Smooth, well-rounded, fruity: a little childhood memory... in a hot cup version.

  • Perfect moment: a snack, a cozy break, or iced tea even in winter (yes, really 😄)
  • Infusion: 80° – 2 to 3 min 
  • Surprise Tip: delicious brewed then chilled, with a few ice cubes → dessert iced tea .

The little surprises that complete the experience

Because at T•Surprise we don't just serve tea… We create moments .

Teapot-shaped infuser

Fun and practical, this infuser adds a joyful touch to your tasting moments.   In short, it's the little accessory that makes your tea even cuter. (And frankly, life's too short for boring infusers.)

Flavored sugar

This delicately flavored sugar transforms every cup into a festive treat, to be sprinkled with pleasure and curiosity.  It's the "winter magic" touch, winter version. Just a hint is enough to transform your tea into a little gourmet ritual .

Winter Stars: One cup at a time

This theme is a gentle reminder that even when it's cold, even when it gets dark earlier… there's always a light somewhere. And sometimes, that light is just you… with a nice cup of coffee ❤️
