A green tea from China with very limited production
The spectacular leaves of this Taiping Hou Kui, considered one of China's finest vintages, impress with their size and lovely shades of green. Entirely handcrafted at the Wuyuan tea school, this green tea delivers a dense, limpid liquor evocative of exotic fruits and tangy sweets, accompanied by a light iodine touch. A splendid tea!

Origin of ingredients
Dazhangshan organic tea farmer association
Terroir
Dazhangshan is a cooperative organized by small producers in China's Wuyuan province. The climate is subtropical, characterized by cold winters, hot summers and abundant rainfall from spring to early summer. The landscape is picturesque, with rolling hills dotted with tea terraces. The soil is red clay, which is very common in the region. Rivers such as the Xinjiang and Qinghua provide irrigation for farmland and contribute to regional biodiversity. The local government takes great care to protect and preserve the natural environment. Indeed, Wuyuan province is characterized by its highly diverse flora and fauna and rare endemic species.
Community projects
The small producers' cooperative obtained its fair trade certification in 2001. It was the first tea cooperative in China to be certified. The fair trade premium has led to a significant improvement in the community's quality of life. Producers invest the funds in their children's education and in a tea school. The community is very active in the field of health, safety and certification, regularly running training courses to enable producers to perfect their skills.
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.
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.

Ressemble au goût davantage à une tisane qu'à un thé.
