Pouchkine (Green)

A Russian Breath on Green Leaves

This tea was created following numerous requests from our loyal customers, lovers of freshness yet nostalgic for the inimitable aroma of Pushkin.

Creating a Russian tea on a green base was almost a paradox: how to retain the soul of the samovar while dressing it in lightness? How to rediscover the richness of a Slavic taste without the depth of black tea?

This is the challenge our workshop took on: by working on the distinct aromatic structure of the original Pushkin, then adjusting it to match the subtle vegetal notes of Sencha. The result? A tea of astonishing authenticity, while retaining that mysterious je-ne-sais-quoi, like a poem written in green ink on a leather-bound notebook.

Another way to say “Pushkin”

In this spring version, the tribute to Alexander Pushkin remains. The romantic spirit, the timeless elegance, the tension between rigor and delicacy: everything is there, but transposed into transparency, finesse, and light.

This tea still speaks Russian, but in a softer, more generous language. It evokes Muscovite gardens in spring, frosted glasses of lemonade, and verses written on a Parisian cafe terrace.

Tea and Food Pairings

Ideal for early afternoon or late morning, Pouchkine Vert is the tea for those who seek vivacity without compromising on depth. It pairs wonderfully with a Russian praline cream cake, a dark chocolate tart, or even an English cheddar.

Tea-based Cocktail

Served iced, it reveals its full summer dimension: the bergamot becomes livelier, almost floral, while the Sencha unfurls its vegetal undertones in filigree.

For a cocktail version, make a Pouchkine Vert tea syrup, then mix it with white vodka, a dash of yuzu or lime liqueur, and a hint of orange blossom bitters. Serve in a frosted glass, with a flamed lemon zest: a fresh and bold tribute to Slavic elegance.
