Fruit, flowers, and mint, with not a trace of caffeine. Carcadet Cassis Menthe N°653 is a naturally caffeine-free fruit infusion from Dammann Frères, one of France’s oldest tea houses, founded in 1692, blending rosehip peel, apple pieces, and hibiscus flowers, flavored with blackcurrant, blueberry, and peppermint. Tangy hibiscus meets the fruity depth of blackcurrant and the cool freshness of mint in a well-balanced, deeply colored cup. Serve it iced in summer with fresh blueberries and mint leaves, or in the evening, as a vibrant infusion for all the family.
