Black Tea
Tea from India - Darjeeling 1st flush 2022 Millikthong F.T.G.F.O.P. Grand cru
Harvested on March 3rd in the Mirik Valley, this lot, manufactured in the traditional way, comes from a plantation whose oldest tea trees have been replaced, thus offering more aromatic teas. Its regular leaves dotted with white tips offers warm attack of chestnut, a flowery and vegetal heart with a slight astringency, a cup recalling the humid atmosphere of tea factories during the process of transformation of the leaves. A lovely journey on its own!

KNOW-HOW & QUALITY
Loose teas and infusions
All our teas and the plants used in infusions are selected through the seasons by our buyers, directly from our producers. All products are chosen for both their visual appearance and their organoleptic qualities. Compliance tests are then commissioned from a COFRAC-accredited external, independent laboratory before any orders are placed.
Once received, batches are placed in quarantine while we carry out two more tests. The first is an organoleptic test completed by our specialists (taste, smell and visual). The second comprises a series of analyses at a COFRAC.-accredited, independent, external lab.
At our factory, we have developed special optical sorting and dusting equipment for our raw ingredients. Delicate items are sorted by hand.
Our teas and infusions are unique recipes available loose, boxed and in sachets. The loose leaf format is the most environmentally friendly choice.
