The Clove

What are the benefits of cloves in infusions?

Highly coveted for its pungent and bitter, woody and fruity aroma, this spice releases powerful notes that comfort the body and mind.

Known to help soothe digestive pain , cloves are harvested from the clove tree and no less than three kilos are grown and picked each year.

Its powerful taste blends perfectly with other plants such as cinnamon , orange peel , thyme or eucalyptus .

Which part of the clove is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?

Our priority is above all the taste of our infusions .

So we use the most fragrant part of this spice, namely the bud.

This flower loses its fragrance as it blooms over time, which is why our producers pick it just before blooming to maintain the taste quality in our recipes.

The tropical climate has seduced these flower buds which, after several days drying in the sun, take on a beautiful reddish color.

It is by removing their stem that they become this much-loved spice: Clove .

In which recipes do our master infusers use cloves?

We love cloves !

We have many recipes containing it, developed by our master brewers in our workshop in Bons-en-Chablais.

The virtues of this spice are used in our powerfully flavored infusions like Frissons d'Hiver

Fans looking for highly pronounced flavors will opt for our Strong Spiced Tea and its full-bodied notes, which once infused at 80°C for 3 minutes, will captivate you!
