Origin of ingredients
Seeyok tea garden
Terroir
The Seeyok garden is located near Mirik, a picturesque town in the Darjeeling district, close to the Nepalese border at an altitude of over 1500 meters. The district has a subtropical, high-altitude climate with three distinct seasons: summer, monsoon and winter. Soil types include clayey loam, sandy loam and acidic loam. Water sources include Lake Mirik, as well as numerous streams and springs from the surrounding hills and forests. The region's close proximity to nature makes it a mecca for biodiversity, and wild animals can even be found in the tea gardens. Off the beaten track and in the heart of the nearby forests, you'll find endemic species such as the emblematic red panda, the Himalayan Monal and a profusion of rhododendrons.
Community projects
Over the past few years, this Fair Trade-certified garden has been confronted with soil erosion issues. Fifteen villages are therefore working together with the help of the Fair Trade Premium, undertaking reforestation projects as well as health and education initiatives. Their environmental and social objectives go hand in hand with a determination to maintain the production of high-quality tea and consolidate their reputation as one of the oldest certified tea gardens in the Darjeeling district.
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.
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
Grand Cru Tea
Because we have always chosen teas of excellence produced by long-standing partners, we have a few rarities that gourmets will appreciate. Harvested green teas from Japan, black teas from Darjeeling, spring teas from China, vintage pu'er or carefully hand-braided teas, organic teas of incomparable finesse for memorable tastings.
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 chocolate pairings
This summer-harvested black tea goes wonderfully well with dark chocolate (75%) from Kerala, for example, to accentuate the chocolate's raisin notes. It's a perfect pairing for a wonderful taste experience.

À l'odeur ce thé me rappelle le Seeyok Vintage avec des parfums de roses, d'orchidée et de cacao que j'aimais tant. Au goût c'est plus léger, le covid est passé par là.

Toujours aussi aromatique et réconfortant ; je ne peux pas m'en passer

Superbes arômes, mon thé du matin favori depuis plusieurs années. Grâce à lui, la journée commence bien ! Je ne partage pas l'avis ci-dessous sur les Darjeeling d'été de Mariage Frères : certains sont remarquables, d'autres moins comme dans toutes les maisons de thé. Le Seeyok Summer Blossom des Jardins de Gaïa est d'un excellent rapport qualité/prix.
3/5
Bon mais ne tient que légèrement les promesses décrites sur le site. Les darjeeling d'été de Mariage Freres (beaucoup plus chers cependant) dont certains sont biologiques sont beaucoup plus goûteux.
