A legendary blue-green tea
Tea from China
A legendary tea. Its thick, emerald-green leaves, rolled into small grains, unfurl into a limpid liquor with complex aromas. Floral notes of orchid and lime blossom rub shoulders with aromas of yellow fruit and vanilla. Legend has it that it was grown not far from a temple of Guanyin, close to an iron effigy of the goddess. A divine essence, ideal for an introduction to great teas.
Tea composition
- Wulong* tea
*Organically grown.
Origin of ingredients
Xuan en'Yisheng tea cooperative
Terroir
Known for its rugged landscapes and deep valleys with karst formations, Enshi is located in the south-western part of China's Hubei province, crossed by the Qing River and its tributaries. Indeed, Enshi boasts numerous water springs and is home to important endemic species, such as the golden monkey and the short-tailed pangolin. The small producers' cooperative is located in the hinterland of Wuling Mountain. Here, atmospheric humidity is high due to the rainforests. The soil is rich in selenium, and growers often plant tea bushes between rocks, giving them better access to minerals and salt.
Context and challenges
The environmental context is uncertain, with frequent landslides and flooding, so the fair trade premium provides leverage for producers.
Community projects
The Fairtrade Premium has enabled the implementation of a road improvement and maintenance project, as well as the purchase of equipment for tea production and transport vehicles for the cooperative's two factories.
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.
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.

J'ai reçu la boite de 50 g... remplie de sachets métalliques ! L'ouverture de la boite a été un vrai choc. Je ne sais pas si je pourrai un jour refaire une commande. Je ris mais pas vraiment. Supprimer cette option, c'est une vraie catastrophe. Où est l'âme de Gaia et des petits producteurs ? Je m'excuse pour la dureté de mes propos. C'est parfois dur de garder le cap.

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.
