Impossible to resist the enchanting, poetic effect of this white tea
Made from the long, silvery down buds of rare Shan Tuyêt tea bushes (Camellia sinensis var. Shan), this white tea is unique. Its liqueur surprises with a total absence of bitterness, sweetness and biscuity, fruity notes that are as refined as they are delicious.
Notes: butter, yellow fruit, confectionery.

Origin of ingredients
Ban Cooperative link
Terroir
The Ban Lien cooperative of small-scale producers is located in the commune of the same name, in the heart of Vietnam's Lào Cai province. The commune is dominated by mountain ranges ranging in altitude from 800 to 1,500 meters. The landscape here is characterized by deep hills and valleys benefiting from a subtropical monsoon climate. The soils are mainly ferrallitic, typical of tropical mountain regions. Rainfall during the rainy season supplies the province with water and maintains a good level of soil moisture. The rainy season begins in May and ends in October, with particularly abundant rainfall in July and August. Outside these periods, several rivers cross the Yen Bai, playing a crucial role in irrigating farmland. The province is rich in biodiversity, with forests home to numerous species of trees, medicinal plants and bamboos.
Community projects
The Ban Lien cooperative has been Fair Trade certified since 2015, and as such benefits from an annual premium whose impact on the community is significant. The premium has helped finance the schooling of 37 high school students as well as the upkeep of the school library. In addition, the premium has subsidized the renovation of roads, improving the flow of tea to the factory.
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.
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.
Alexandre's advice
Find all the subtlety of white teas in this fairy tea enhanced by sweet fruity notes. A tender afternoon interlude!
