Single-origin teas: frequently asked questions

1. What is a single-origin tea and how does it differ from a blend?

A single-origin tea comes from a specific terroir, sometimes a single estate, and expresses the full character of its region. A blend, conversely, combines several origins to create a balanced and consistent cup.

2. Which origin should I choose based on my preferred taste profile (full-bodied, floral, vegetal, muscatel)?

For a full-bodied tea, turn to Assam or Ceylon; for muscatel and fruity notes, to Darjeeling; for vegetal freshness, to Japan; for mildness, to China. Each origin has its own signature.

3. Which single-origin tea should I offer to a fine tea enthusiast?

A first flush Darjeeling from a renowned estate, a premium Chinese tea, or an exceptional Formosa oolong will delight sophisticated palates. Our finest references are among our grand crus.

4. Are your single-origin teas pure, unblended, and unflavored?

Yes, our single-origin teas are pure teas: one single source, with no blending or added flavoring, to faithfully reveal the character of their terroir.

5. What do the terms "estate" or "plantation" mean on your single-origin teas?

These terms refer to the specific estate where the tea was grown and harvested, similar to a "cru" in oenology. They attest to the traceability and the high standards used to select our single-origin teas.

6. Do you offer organic and certified single-origin teas?

Yes, a selection of our single-origin teas is certified organic. The dedicated filter on the site allows you to find them easily.

7. Can I create a discovery set featuring several origins?

Of course. Our sets and build-your-own boxes allow you to combine several origins in one package, whether for gifting or for traveling from cup to cup.

8. Which accessories should I use to enjoy a single-origin tea (teapot, gaiwan)?

A porcelain or Chinese clay teapot highlights the finesse of a single-origin tea; for gong fu cha tasting, a small vessel allows for short, repeated infusions. Discover our collection of teapots and accessories.
