Tea from India
This black tea, from an autumn harvest in the Selimbong garden, a pioneer in biodynamic farming in Darjeeling, offers a smooth, supple infusion. It is distinguished by its mature character, balance and characteristic fruitiness with lovely muscatel notes.
Tea composition
- Black tea**
**Derived from organic and biodynamic agriculture. demeter is the label for products from Biodynamic agriculture.
Origin of ingredients
Selimbong tea garden
Terroir
The Selimbong tea garden is located in the Darjeeling district, close to the Nepalese border. At an altitude of over 1,500 meters, the garden stretches from the Sukhia forest reserve to the banks of the Balusun River. The district has a high-altitude subtropical climate with three distinct seasons: summer, monsoon and winter. Soils are clayey loam, sandy and acidic. Water resources include the Balusun River and numerous streams and springs from the surrounding hills and forests. The close proximity to nature means that birds such as parrots, woodpeckers, minivets, thrushes and barbets can be observed from the garden.
Context and challenges
Climate change is a real challenge for Darjeeling's only Demeter-certified tea garden, as it is the cause of insect and fungal infestations on the tea bushes.
Community projects
With the help of the Fairtrade Premium, training seminars have enabled producers to acquire the knowledge they need to combat these infestations and maintain the good health of the tea bushes. In addition, medical, social and economic development actions are regularly carried out for the benefit of the community, with the aim of improving their living conditions.
Demeter
is the label for products from Biodynamic agriculture. We promote biodynamic agriculture, which corresponds to the original balance, where man lives in harmony with the chain of life, and respects a complex system of multiple natural influences. Certified since 2003.
Darjeeling PGI
Guaranteeing the origin of our teas is one of our top priorities. We're delighted to finally be able to display the official Darjeeling logo on our packaging, a guarantee of the geographical origin of this tea that we've cherished since our origins. Since 2011, the European Union has recognized the only existing PGI for tea. A guarantee of protection for Indian producers and consumers alike.
PGI: Protected Geographical Indication
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.
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.
Tea and food pairings
This Darjeeling, with its notes of waxed wood, is ideal with a fruity comté, a nice bunch of grapes and a handful of nuts for a simple, elegant snack or savory aperitif. For an autumn buffet, add a delicious pumpkin pie to this trio.

Le thé Selimbong autumnal est de bonne qualité et stable. On n'y trouve plus cependant tous ses arômes d'autrefois, mais je pense que c'est un problème général des thés de Darjeeling, malheureusement.

C'est encore ce Selimbong d'automne d'automne qui nous satisfait le mieux, bien que je ne retrouve pas les saveurs auxquelles j'étais accoutumé dans les années 80. Effet du changement climatique? Changement de la façon de le préparer?

Le Selimbong d'automne est vraiment bon, d'une finesse remarquable. Cependant je l'ai connu autrefois (années 70-80) avec davantage d'arômes variés, davantage muscaté notamment.
