Amazigh Flower & Raspberry Rose Panna Cotta
Amazigh Flower combines Kenyan green tea, Moroccan rosebuds, and slivered almonds in a blend inspired by Moroccan traditions and craftsmanship.
For this pairing, we chose a raspberry rose panna cotta: soft, floral, and delicately fruity. The rose creates a natural bridge with the tea, while the raspberries add freshness and vibrant acidity that brighten the creamy texture of the dessert.
The result is a pairing that feels delicate, elegant, and perfectly suited to spring afternoons.

Riad’s Earl Grey & Blueberry Lemon Cake
Riad’s Earl Grey reimagines a classic blend through a Moroccan lens. Bergamot meets orange blossom and verbena in a tea that feels vibrant, floral, and refreshing.
To complement its aromatic profile, we paired it with a blueberry lemon cake. The citrus naturally enhances the bergamot, while the blueberries bring a juicy sweetness and slight acidity that balance the tea’s floral freshness beautifully.
Bright, elegant, and full of character, this tea and pastry pairing is ideal for spring tea time shared with friends.

Floral Oolong & Vanilla, Honey Shortbread
Smooth and delicately floral, our Kenyan Floral Oolong reveals soft honeyed notes with a silky finish. Its elegant profile pairs beautifully with pastries that feel simple, refined, and comforting.
For this pairing, we chose a vanilla and honey shortbread. Its buttery texture complements the roundness of the oolong without overpowering its delicate floral character.
The honey echoes the tea’s natural sweetness, while the vanilla adds warmth and depth to every sip. Together, they create a comforting and elegant pairing — perfect for a slow spring afternoon tea.
