A fine introduction to Nepalese teas
Tea from Nepal
This Nepalese green tea was born in small, high-altitude plots surrounded by a rich and beautiful diversity of plants, which it seems to have absorbed. Its small leaves produce a golden brew with vegetal, slightly acidic and spicy notes, and an airy quality that invites you to daydream.
Tea composition
- Green tea*
*From organic farming.
Origin of ingredients
Kanchenjunga Tea Estate
Terroir
Kanchenjunga Tea Estate is nestled in the heart of a tropical, mountainous forest at an altitude of 1,800 meters on a plot of land of around 94 hectares. With well-drained, acidic soil and abundant rainfall, the climate is ideal for tea production. Founded in 1984 by over 100 farmers of different origins, Kanchenjunga Tea Estate is a pioneer in the production of high-quality organic Himalayan Orthodox tea in Nepal.
Background and challenges
Today, soil fertility, deforestation and erosion are major concerns for its farmers.
Community projects
The Fair Trade Premium enables the cooperative to address these concerns through sustainable land management strategies, including the application of eco-responsible farming practices and ongoing training for its farmers.
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.
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.
Alexandre's advice
Atypical green tea with hints of chicory, ideal for morning tea and afternoon tea.
Tea and food pairings
This mild yet intense green tea can be paired with shellfish, fried vegetables or a yellow fruit dessert to enhance the sweet flavors.
