A black tea that will enchant you
Tea from China
This great Qimen black tea, produced in the southwest of the famous Yellow Mountain, is a classic Chinese grand cru. Its smooth-textured red infusion blends typical chocolate and malty notes with light woody and fruity accents. A heavenly tea with perfect balance.
Tea composition

*From organic farming.
Origin of ingredients
Xuan en'Yisheng tea cooperative
Terroir
Known for its rugged landscapes and deep valleys with karst formations, Enshi is located in the south-western part of China's Hubei province, crossed by the Qing River and its tributaries. Indeed, Enshi boasts numerous water springs and is home to important endemic species, such as the golden monkey and the short-tailed pangolin. The small producers' cooperative is located in the hinterland of Wuling Mountain. Here, atmospheric humidity is high due to the rainforests. The soil is rich in selenium, and growers often plant tea bushes between rocks, giving them better access to minerals and salt.
Context and challenges
The environmental context is uncertain, with frequent landslides and flooding, so the fair trade premium provides leverage for producers.
Community projects
The Fairtrade Premium has enabled the implementation of a road improvement and maintenance project, as well as the purchase of equipment for tea production and transport vehicles for the cooperative's two factories.
Organic farming
We have always offered organically grown teas and herbal teas, and used natural, organic flavours. We go even further, demanding that our suppliers use certified organic flavor carriers and solvents. Certified since 1994.
Original tea
White, green, black and dark teas from China, India, Japan and elsewhere are all varieties from the same plant: the tea plant. Once plucked, the leaf is processed in different ways, undergoing numerous transformations. Depending on the terroir, the fineness of the leaf and the way it is processed, the result is an unlimited palette of tastes and vintages.
Tea and food pairings
The balanced, slightly sweet flavors of this black tea are ideal with a simple square of dark chocolate or fresh banana. A little overdosed, it can also be paired with hard cheeses such as young mimolette or grilled red meat.

Je ne sens pas trop les notes chocolatées et préfère le Keemun OP, que je trouve plus doux et qui est nettement moins cher !

Un thé noir avec un arrière goût de chocolat, délicieux
5/5
Mon deuxième noir nature préféré. Doux, équilibré, pointes de saveurs douces cacao, miel (je trouve). Il remplace un peu mon Mémoire d'Everest qui n'est plus disponible pour l'instant...

Parfait!
