To prepare Les 3 fleurs, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling, around 200°F (93°C). Place one teaspoon of tea leaves per cup into your teapot or infuser. Pour the hot water over the leaves and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Strain the tea to remove the leaves and serve immediately. It can be enjoyed plain, or with a touch of milk or sugar if preferred, though its natural aroma is often best appreciated without additions.

While many black teas offer malty or brisk notes, this blend is distinguished by its perfumed aroma and lighter, more nuanced taste.
