Between the end of winter and the first stirrings of spring, there is a special time. The days slowly lengthen. The light changes. The air remains cool, but something within us begins to open up.
The First Rays box set was designed to accompany this transition. More than just a selection of teas and infusions, it is a true ritual of passage, an invitation to slow down and savor the first signs of renewal.
A box set inspired by the nascent light
When the light returns, it transforms everything. Mornings seem softer. Late afternoons take on a golden hue. We feel a lighter, clearer energy.
In the cup, this translates into delicate, floral, vegetal, and slightly fruity notes. Luminous flavors that evoke freshness, clarity, and movement.
Here is the tasting menu for this spring theme.

Rich and balanced, it is ideal for morning or early afternoon enjoyment. Its refined character brings structure and vitality, while maintaining a beautiful sweetness on the palate.

The surprise: a luminous tea spoon
Because the ritual is as important as the tasting, the box set includes a bright and warm tea spoon. A small, simple, yet essential object that transforms the infusion into a mindful moment.
The treat: soft caramel
The soft caramel sweetens the tart freshness of the hibiscus and raspberry. It creates a gourmet and comforting balance, perfect for accompanying the transition between winter and spring.
A ritual to accompany the change of season
Seasonal changes are not just meteorological. They are also internal. We gently emerge from a more introspective cycle to enter a movement of openness. Infusing tea then becomes a symbolic gesture. We let the hot water reveal the aromas, just as light gradually reveals the colors of the world.
The First Rays box set fits into this dynamic. It accompanies the lengthening days, the desires for renewal, and the small moments of gratitude for the rediscovered light.
