Snowview Tea Garden
Terroir
Snowview is nestled in the Himalayan plains and is part of the Kalimpong sub-district. For hundreds of years, the nearest town, Kalimpong, served as both a link point and the main conduit for trade between China, Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma and India. With its largely rugged terrain and steep slopes, the region enjoys a subtropical high-altitude climate with mild temperatures all year round. The soil is loamy and there are numerous rivers, including the Jaldhaka, which rise in the Himalayan mountains. The monsoon season, from June to September, also brings heavy rainfall. The biodiversity of this region is characterized by natural rainforests, dense bamboo groves and colorful rhododendron canopies. The Neora Valley National Park lies close to the Snowview Garden and provides a haven for endemic species such as the red panda and Himalayan black bear.
Community projects
The garden is Fairtrade certified, and growers live in close contact with nature. Thanks to the fair trade premium, solar panels have been installed, making Snowview a "carbon-neutral" tea plantation. Health initiatives and sanitation projects also continue to develop, putting health and safety at the forefront of community initiatives.
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.
Early tea
Discover fresh, delicate teas bursting with spring flavors! Considered by some to be the quintessence of natural teas, primeurs are the fruit of the first Camellia sinensis leaf harvests of the year.
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.
