A black tea to discover
This chocolate-flavored black tea from Laos, with its many beautifully hemmed golden buds, offers a gourmet taste experience. Its dense, coppery liquor envelops the entire palate, seducing it with notes of cooked fruit, wildflower honey, cinnamon and vanilla crème brûlée... A powerful black tea of great complexity and gourmet character.
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.
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.
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.
Niko's advice
«Often, the teas that make the biggest impression are those that evoke emotion.»
Initially bowled over by its uncomplicated, even spectacular aesthetic, I confess to having been instantly transported to Phongsaly.
Immediately effective, the scents of this tea remind me of my Laotian itinerary, the smell of sticky rice, the smiles of the locals and the black teas I had the opportunity to enjoy before I knew the full extent and richness of this curly black.
Tea & 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.

Étant déjà accro aux pieds de théier anciens du sud-est asiatique, j'ai reconnu celui-ci tout de suite. Légèrement différent du thé du Vietnam ci-dessous, mais proche.

J'avais commandé ce thé il y a quelques années et j'avais adoré son goût corsé et puissant. Puis aimant découvrir de nouveaux goûts, j'ai tenté d'autres thés noirs en cherchant toujours ce goût puissant que j'aime dans un thé noir. Mais je n'ai jamais été aussi satisfaite qu'avec le Curly Black. Une infusion très sombre et un goût prononcé et très marqué, sans être amer: mon thé noir préféré!
