An original wu long to infuse and reinfuse to discover all its richness
The fruit of a summer harvest in the highest part of the Snowview garden, this semi-oxidized Darjeeling tea is of rare elegance. Composed of numerous golden buds, it offers a beautiful aromatic complexity. After a slightly astringent attack, the liquor unfurls its floral rose notes on a biscuity background.
Tea composition
- Wulong* tea
*Organically grown.
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.

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.
Darjeeling PGI
Guaranteeing the origin of our teas is one of our top priorities. We're delighted to finally be able to display the official Darjeeling logo on our packaging, a guarantee of the geographical origin of this tea that we've cherished since our origins. Since 2011, the European Union has recognized the only existing PGI for tea. A guarantee of protection for Indian producers and consumers alike.
PGI: Protected Geographical Indication
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.
Niko's advice
Tea doesn't speak, but declares itself and accompanies you. If I had to choose one tea to accompany me every day, this snowview would be my instinctive routine.
The acoustics of the suspended moment when the water is poured over the leaves, the reassuring fragrance that emanates during the metamorphosis and the promise of a generous cup when ripe give me a sense of delight and wonder.

What is oolong (or wulong) tea?
Wulong tea is halfway between a green tea and a black tea, as it has been semi-oxidized. Wulong teas have a wide range of flavors.
