YUNNAN IMPERIAL: ORGANIC black tea from Yunnan, GFOP, with whole leaves and golden buds.
Yunnan, in the southwest of China, its only tropical region, benefits from a mountainous topography, at the origin of the very first wild tea plants, some of which, more than 1000 years old, are still alive. According to legend, Emperor Shen Nung discovered tea 2700 years before our era. The meaning of his name: "divine farmer". He was also the patron saint of pharmacists and doctors. Subsequently, the emperors' tables were always stocked with the famous teas with incomparable flavors of Yunnan. Yunnan black tea is nicknamed "the mocha of tea", as it also pleases coffee lovers. And also "the surgeons' tea", because it wakes you up without irritating you. It also offers beautiful notes of leather, honey and tobacco, with a round and powerful texture.
The ingredients:GFOP tea from Yunnan (China), made from rolled young whole leaves and golden buds. From organic farming.
Preparation:2 tablespoons for 1 liter of pure water brought to 95°. Infusion 4'.
Use : Ideal when waking up, to energize yourself without making you nervous. Also delicious iced.
ASSAM TIPPY TEA: Organic black tea from Assam, TGFOP - 2nd harvest
When the English attempts to introduce Chinese tea into the plains of Assam proved unsuccessful, they discovered that the indigenous Singphos tribe (“Jingpos” in Burma) were already growing tea there. They had probably been drinking it since the 12th century. The “discovery” of this endemic variety of India was owed to the brothers Robert and Charles Bruce in the 1830s, who named it Camelia sinensis assamica. The development of a production of fine black teas, with woody and spicy notes, was not long in coming, in an attempt to free themselves from Chinese predominance. Assam tea is harvested twice a year: the summer harvest (second flush) is the most prized. It is nicknamed “tippy tea”, because of the golden tips that appear on the leaves.
The ingredients:Assam tea (India) TGFOP Second Flush Sewpur. Camellia sinensis assamica variety, from organic farming.
Preparation:2 tablespoons for 1 liter of pure water brought to 95°. Infusion 4'.
Use : Ideal in the morning. Goes well with milk.
