Black tea with spices, licorice, and pink pepper.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKusmi Tea Sweet Love\u003c\/strong\u003e is a flavored black tea with cardamom, cinnamon, anise, clove, licorice, pink pepper, and guarana. Not a simple breakfast tea, not a pure black tea, not a caffeine-free herbal tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKusmi Tea Sweet Love\u003c\/strong\u003e is a flavored black tea from the French tea house Kusmi Tea, combining a robust tea base with a sweet and spicy blend of spices. Anise and clove lead the aroma, supported by the soft sweetness of licorice root. On the palate, cardamom and cinnamon join in, while pink pepper adds a bright, slightly fruity note. The black tea gives the blend body and a malty depth. In the loose leaf, pink berries shimmer between the dark tea leaves. Sweet Love tastes like a soft, sweet chai, packaged in Kusmi's familiar pink tin. It's a tea for an afternoon when you take your time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSweet Spice on Robust Black Tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Love is a sweet and spicy herbal tea that contains no sugar and draws its sweetness solely from licorice root. Anise and clove give it a warm, almost licorice-like depth. Cardamom and cinnamon layer softly over it, and pink pepper brings a fruity-peppery freshness. Beneath it is a malty black tea that holds the spices together and gives the blend structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the infusion is full-bodied, round, and lingeringly sweet. The aftertaste is reminiscent of licorice and roasted spices. In the cup, Sweet Love appears dark and clear, with a warm, reddish-brown hue. The sweetness comes solely from the ingredients, not from added sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone looking for a clear, tart black tea without sweetness will find Sweet Love too aromatic. Those who dislike anise and licorice should also choose a different variety. This blend is not intended for a simple breakfast tea. It is intentionally sweet and spice-focused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAs Chai Latte and for Dessert\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Love is prepared with 90 °C water and a steeping time of three to five minutes. One heaped teaspoon is enough for a large cup. A longer steeping time enhances the spices without making the black tea bitter. If you prefer it milder, stick to three minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith hot, frothed milk and a spoonful of honey, Sweet Love becomes a homemade chai latte. On its own, it pairs well with winter pastries such as gingerbread, speculoos, or a slice of apple pie. It also makes a good companion to dark chocolate or an orange dessert. If you like, brew it double strength and serve it over ice as spiced iced tea. With a piece of star anise and an orange slice, it becomes a warming infusion for the afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a chai latte, steep two heaped teaspoons of Sweet Love for five minutes in 150 milliliters of water. Add 150 milliliters of frothed milk and stir briefly. Due to the licorice, this infusion usually does not need additional sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black tea and guarana both contain caffeine — something to consider for caffeine-sensitive individuals late in the evening.

Sweet Love bears the vibrant pink of this family and is one of the house's aromatic, spice-focused blends. The recipes are composed in Normandy, and bottling takes place in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ingredients deserve a closer look. Pink pepper is not botanically true pepper, but rather the dried berry of the Schinus tree. It tastes mild, resinous, and slightly fruity instead of sharp. Guarana, in turn, are the seeds of a South American climbing plant, Paullinia cupana, which naturally contain caffeine. The licorice root completes the picture: it provides the sweetness that allows Sweet Love to do without added sugar. Clove and anise contribute warm, Christmassy notes. This combination creates the chai-like, soft character that defines the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift in Pink\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes Sweet Love is the combination of robust black tea and a sweet spice blend that contains no sugar. It tastes like a chai, yet remains unique due to licorice, pink pepper, and guarana. The pink tin makes the tea an obvious gift, especially for people who enjoy spicy, sweet teas. It contains licorice, which should be consumed in moderation by individuals with high blood pressure. Those who prefer a simple, clear black tea will be happier with a pure variety. For everyone else, Sweet Love is a warm, aromatic companion through the cool season, from the first cold week to late winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA black tea for those who like their cup sweet and spicy — and who will smile at a pink tin on the shelf.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kusmi Tea","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":56361559032134,"sku":"037FRO30803","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/kusmi-tea-sweet-love.png?v=1781271263","url":"https:\/\/ginusslande.com\/en\/products\/kusmi-tea-sweet-love-100g","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
