Autumn has a certain magic about it… 🍁
The days are getting shorter, the temperatures are becoming milder, cozy sweaters are back in our closets, and the desire to curl up under a blanket is starting to set in.
It is also the return of those little pleasures we love so much: a lit candle, a cake coming out of the oven, a good book, and, obviously, a hot cup of tea in our hands. 🫖
At CaminaTea, autumn is a season we are particularly fond of. The season of gourmet flavors, comforting spices, caramelized apples, toasted hazelnuts, and those aromas that remind us of the afternoon snacks of our childhood.
So, which gourmet autumn drinks should you choose to accompany this beautiful season?
We have selected 10 teas, rooibos, and herbal teas with autumnal flavors to turn every break into a true moment of sweetness.
Enough to savor autumn… one cup after another. 🩷
Why do we love hot, gourmet drinks so much in autumn?
A steaming cup when the rain begins to fall, a few minutes of calm after a busy day, or that delicious scent of cinnamon that reminds you of pastries just out of the oven…
Autumn naturally makes us want to slow down and rediscover those little rituals that make us feel good.
And our cravings change in our cups, too.
We slowly leave behind the iced infusions of summer to rediscover generous black teas, well-rounded oolongs, gourmet rooibos, and herbal teas with pastry-like flavors.
At CaminaTea, we like to imagine our creations as true little treats to infuse. The pleasure of a 4 p.m. snack, sometimes without even needing to take out the cookies!
Here are our 10 favorite drinks for a particularly gourmet autumn. 🍂
Our 10 gourmet autumn drinks to discover at CaminaTea
1. Un Automne à Menton: the sweetness of a Pumpkin Spice Latte 🎃
Who said autumn couldn't have a little French Riviera accent?
In Menton, the sun is still present, the days remain pleasant, and the seasonal colors are slowly beginning to settle in.
It is this atmosphere that we find in Un Automne à Menton, our infusion inspired by the famous Pumpkin Spice Latte.
A creation with spicy and gourmet accents that evokes cozy cafes and the first cravings for cocooning.
To be enjoyed piping hot, or with a splash of milk for an even softer break.
The perfect moment: a Sunday afternoon, when the desire to do nothing becomes a real agenda.
2. Praline Lovers: the indulgence of praline and pistachio 🍫
There are scents that are hard to resist… and praline is clearly one of them.
With Praline Lovers, our black tea with notes of praline and pistachio, we find the whole world of chocolate shops and little treats that we like to indulge in when temperatures start to drop.
A generous and fragrant cup that reminds us of candies and pastries.
And for chocolate lovers, it goes perfectly with a little square of dark chocolate.
The perfect moment: at snack time, for a deliciously comforting interlude.
3. Miss Gourmandise: an infusion like a dessert 🍿
Careful, this infusion might just awaken your inner child!
With Miss Gourmandise, we enter a world of almost regressive sweetness: fruits, popcorn, puffed buckwheat, little marshmallows, and delicious notes of vanilla panna cotta.
Quite a treat… 🩷
A fruity, creamy, and terribly gourmet infusion that evokes childhood snacks and the desserts we love to share.
And the extra bit of happiness? It is caffeine-free.
The perfect moment: in front of a movie, under a blanket, with absolutely nothing else to do but enjoy yourself.
4. Noisette Citronnée: the meeting of indulgence and freshness 🍋
In autumn, we love generous flavors… but sometimes, a little touch of freshness makes all the difference.
That is exactly what we find in our green tea Noisette Citronnée.
The gourmet sweetness of hazelnut meets a brighter lemony note, for a cup that is both delicate, fragrant, and surprising.
A lovely contrast that reminds us that autumn is not just about spices and caramel.
The perfect moment: around 10:30 a.m., for a gourmet break that isn't too heavy.
5. Pomme d'Amour: a fairground memory in a cup 🍎
Close your eyes for a few seconds…
Imagine the lights of a fairground, the laughter of children, and that delicious scent of candied apples floating in the air.
That is a bit of what Pomme d'Amour evokes for us.
A fruity infusion with flavors of candied apple, sweet and generous, which immerses us back in the memories of our childhood.
And since it is caffeine-free, it is also a great idea for a hot drink to share with the family.
The perfect moment: upon returning from school, for a snack that smells like childhood memories.
6. Cinnamon Roll: the pleasure of a cinnamon bun fresh out of the oven 🥐
There are scents that are enough to make a house instantly warmer.
The smell of a cinnamon bun baking slowly in the oven is one of them.
With our rooibos Cinnamon Roll, we find this gourmet world inspired by the famous little cinnamon-rolled buns.
An enveloping cup with pastry-like and spicy notes, which almost makes you feel like you're stepping into a bakery on an autumn morning.
For an even cozier version, we like to imagine it with a splash of warm milk.
The perfect moment: a rainy afternoon, when you dream of a still-warm pastry.
7. Gourmandise du Mercantour: a getaway between chestnut and vanilla 🌰
When autumn sets in the Mercantour, the forests are adorned with golden hues and the air becomes crisper.
Our oolong Gourmandise du Mercantour is inspired by this autumnal atmosphere with its delicious notes of chestnut and vanilla.
The indulgence of chestnut meets the sweetness of vanilla in a round and delicate cup.
A blend that evokes walks in the forest, roasted chestnuts, and heartwarming snacks after a beautiful day in the fresh air.
The perfect moment: after an autumn walk, when you return with rosy cheeks and a smile on your face.
8. Caprice d'Automne: a rooibos with pear and hazelnut flavors 🍐
There are gourmet pairings that seem to have been imagined especially for autumn.
Pear, hazelnut, and walnut are undoubtedly among them.
With Caprice d'Automne, our rooibos with flavors of pear, hazelnut, and walnut, we find the sweetness of seasonal fruits and the generous notes of nuts.
A warm creation that evokes pear tarts and Sundays spent cooking as a family.
Caffeine-free, this rooibos can be enjoyed just as much at snack time as after dinner.
The perfect moment: after the evening meal, to quietly prolong the evening.
9. Féerie d'Automne: an enchanted interlude 🍁
Autumn also has its own share of magic…
Leaves swirling, walks in the forest, and those delicious scents of roasted chestnuts that herald the first crisp days.
With Féerie d'Automne, we find all this indulgence in one cup: the sweetness of pumpkin, the warm notes of chestnut, little pieces of popcorn, and a delicate touch of spices.
An original and comforting blend that evokes autumn snacks, forest walks, and simple seasonal pleasures.
The perfect moment: at the end of a lovely autumn day, for a gourmet break with seasonal aromas.
10. Pomme Grillée: all the indulgence of a homemade apple tart 🍏
If there is one scent that reminds us of autumn, it is that of apples baking slowly in the oven.
With our black tea Pomme Grillée, we find this delicious combination of roasted apple, almond, and cinnamon.
A blend that evokes homemade apple tarts, golden desserts, and kitchens filled with delicious aromas.
A gourmet and warm cup that almost makes us want to immediately pull out our favorite crumble recipe.
The perfect moment: a Sunday at 4 p.m., to accompany a homemade snack.
