Tea preparation tips
A delicious dark tea from China
Produced from the original tea bushes of Yunnan province, this tea with its distinctive taste is highly prized by Chinese poets. Pu'er produces an orange-red infusion with a mild, slightly sweet, earthy aroma. Renowned for its low theine content and beneficial qualities, it can be enjoyed throughout the day.
Tea composition
- Dark pu'er* 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 and chocolate pairings
The aromatic palette of this pu'er cuit, ranging from undergrowth to caramel, offers a wide range of tea and food pairings: from pan-fried mushrooms to roasted root vegetables, pumpkin gratin and desserts based on nuts, honey, orange or spices. This type of tea can also be paired almost systematically with a wide range of chocolates and cheeses.
