Blends made with plants, fruits or rooibos are particularly suited to a gentle pause at the end of the day. Their spiced warmth pairs beautifully with a moment of relaxation, a blanket, a book or a quiet evening at home.

6. How do you prepare a cinnamon infusion?

To prepare a cinnamon infusion, pour simmering water over the tea bag or plants, then let it infuse for the time indicated on the packaging.
