A tasty, slightly addictive encounter!
Grown on land traditionally dedicated to spices, this harvest from the gardens of small producers is enriched by its terroir. A harmonious chestnut-colored liqueur that settles on the palate to deliver subtly spicy aromas reminiscent of ginger and sweet pepper. A great success to savor!

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.
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 and food pairings
This fruity black tea is ideal with a sweet or savory breakfast, dried fruit (raisins and hazelnuts in particular) or a dessert based on stewed fruit, such as a grape tart.
