A Tea Studio in the Heart of the Unspoiled Nilgiri Mountains
For over 30 years, Les Jardins de Gaïa has been forging strong, committed partnerships—region by region—with those who produce ethical and responsible tea around the world.
Alongside our Canadian (Camellia Sinensis), Indian (Tea’n’Teas), and Czech (Oxalis) partners, we are joining forces with the Tea Studio, an artisanal micro-factory nestled in the Nilgiri Hills—an exceptional region in southern India and a new addition to our tea house.
Located in the heart of the tea plantations, run by an all-female team, and powered by solar energy, Tea Studio is boldly and passionately reinventing the production of all types of tea in this region of India.
A unique green tea
Tea from India
Crafted in the style of Chinese sheng pu’er, this “maocha” or “raw tea” from the Nilgiri Mountains is as much a success as it is a rarity. Similar to green tea, it yields a refreshing brew with a lovely, lingering finish, featuring fruity notes of apricot and melon enhanced by a subtle hint of the sea.

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.
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.
