Origin of ingredients
Canguan Yisheng organic tea specialized cooperative
Terroir
This cooperative of small producers is located in Cangyuan county, in the southwest of China's Yunnan province. The cooperative brings together some 200 families, many of them ethnic minorities with close ties to nature. The tea bushes here range in age from several centuries to over a thousand years, producing tea leaves used to make Pu'er. The oldest tea plant, the Xiang Zhu Qing, is over 3,200 years old. Fengqing county lies in the Hengduan mountains, and enjoys a subtropical climate with dry and rainy seasons. The soil is mainly alluvial and numerous rivers, such as the Lancang, provide a reliable source of water for land irrigation.
Context and challenges
Global warming-related weather phenomena such as floods and landslides have tested the cooperative's resilience in recent years.
Community projects
The Fairtrade Premium helps the producer community to overcome these hardships by subsidizing families with modest incomes and financing their children's higher education. It has also enabled producers to modernize their tea production facilities.
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.
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.
