A typical green tea with fruity aromas
Protected from the sun's rays by mountain mists, this grand cru from Hubei has benefited from the particularly favorable conditions of its terroir to develop succulent fruity aromas. Its warm aromas are reminiscent of nuts, tinged with subtle milky notes. On the palate, its fine, silky liqueur immediately develops flavors of sugar syrup and melon, with a typical zesty finish that pleasantly punctuates the tasting experience.
Tea composition

*Organically grown.
Origin of ingredients
Xuan en'Yisheng tea cooperative
Terroir
Known for its rugged landscapes and deep valleys with karst formations, Enshi is located in the south-western part of China's Hubei province, crossed by the Qing River and its tributaries. Indeed, Enshi boasts numerous water springs and is home to important endemic species, such as the golden monkey and the short-tailed pangolin. The small producers' cooperative is located in the hinterland of Wuling Mountain. Here, atmospheric humidity is high due to the rainforests. The soil is rich in selenium, and growers often plant tea bushes between rocks, giving them better access to minerals and salt.
Context and challenges
The environmental context is uncertain, with frequent landslides and flooding, so the fair trade premium provides leverage for producers.
Community projects
The Fairtrade Premium has enabled the implementation of a road improvement and maintenance project, as well as the purchase of equipment for tea production and transport vehicles for the cooperative's two factories.
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.
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 & Food Pairings
This delicate green tea, prepared cold, can be enjoyed with fresh goat's cheese or Picodon-type cheese if prepared hot.
Pair it with grilled chicken or crunchy green vegetables, and you've got an equally fine match, bringing vegetal, springtime notes to the dish.
