Origin of ingredients
Chardwar tea garden
Terroir
The Chardwar tea garden is located in the Sonitpur district, on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River in Assam. Situated close to Kaziranga National Park, the garden is surrounded by coniferous forests and meadows dotted with hills. The district has a subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. There are numerous water springs and lakes such as Rowmari, Dighali, Borsola and Rongapani. Most of the annual rainfall comes from the monsoon, ensuring irrigation of the fields but also causing rivers to overflow and flood the plains. As a result, alluvial soils predominate here. The region is home to an abundance of flora. Evergreen and deciduous trees are home to many endemic species, such as the golden langur and the crowned hornbill.
Community projects
After years of neglect, the reopening of the Chardwar Garden in 2015 led to a much-needed modernization of its infrastructure. The construction of a new factory has increased the quality and quantity of tea produced. Emphasis has also been placed on strengthening fair trade practices. The fairtrade premium enabled the garden to invest in solar panels and well water treatment, thus improving the quality of life of its community. The growers have also invested in soil protection measures to improve rainwater retention and limit the risk of landslides during the monsoon season.
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.
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.
Tea and food pairings
This wulong tea goes well with grilled red meats, brunch with scrambled eggs or bacon, as well as stewed fruit tarts and dried fruits (prunes, raisins, dates).
