Tea composition
- Black tea*
*Organically grown.
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.
Fair trade
A WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization) certified member, Les Jardins de Gaïa has been committed to fair trade since its creation: from the tea leaf to the cup, all our practices meet fair trade requirements. To find out more: www.wfto.com.
Ancient and wild tea bushes
We offer teas from Vietnam, Laos and Yunnan that come from ancient, wild tea bushes, rich in active ingredients and antioxidants. This variety still grows in the dense tropical forests of the Golden Triangle mountains, and its promotion prevents deforestation in this region, and enables local minorities to survive.
Plain 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 & Food Pairings
The amber and slightly spicy fragrances of this black tea are ideal with 70-80% dark chocolate, plain, with a hint of salt or caramel chips. This tone-on-tone harmony will produce a very harmonious, gourmet effect on the palate.

j'aurais aimé apprendre sur le contenu s'il s'agit de la feuille de camélia ou de l'arbre à thé car j'ai appris que le thé de chine était moins tanique car il s'agit du camélia.

Raffiné. Attention, il est un peu cher (j'ai acheté un paquet de 50g en croyant acheter un paquet de 100g).
