Grand cru tea: the very definition of finesse
Like the world of wine, the world of tea also has its great vintages.
A grand cru tea is characterized by its unique and rare aromas: for some varieties of tea, for example, only a few kilograms are picked each year. Just like wine, tea is the fruit of a terroir, a culture and know-how: a grand cru tea is the perfect combination of these three elements. It is also a more confidential tea, grown in gardens that we have taken the time to discover (and sometimes reveal) during our travels around the world. Our selection of grand cru teas includes real treasures from exceptional cultures, they reveal - again like wine - a strong, unique, typical color, mouth and nose.
Grand Cru teas invite contemplation; they are exceptional teas that express the richness of their terroirs. They also demonstrate our strong desire to build relationships with the producers we meet around the world.
