The essential oil of sweet orange combines with a China green tea like an invitation to visit the orange grove: a walk full of gustative surprises.
Orange
In search of the perfect orange
Orange, in the world of tea, is often treated with a flourish. Sometimes too intense, too sweet, too artificial. On the contrary, we wanted the most subtle version possible: one that evokes skin warmed by the sun, the zest touched with the tips of your fingers, the sweetness of a still-warm fruit picked directly from the orange tree.
It was in the fertile plain of Capua, north of Naples, that we found our pearl. This region, bordered by the ancient remains of Campania and caressed by the Tyrrhenian winds, is home to some of Italy's most renowned citrus groves. Here, the sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) benefits from a rich volcanic terroir, cool nights, and generous sunshine, which give it an exceptional aromatic intensity.
An orange diamond
We chose Domaine di San Felice, a small family orchard nestled among century-old olive trees and laurel hedges, where sweet oranges have been cultivated for four generations. Harvested at perfect ripeness, its peel is processed using the ancestral method known as cold expression: no heating, no solvents, only delicate pressure that preserves all the complexity of its essential oil. It is this essence, fresh and lively, that we have married our green tea to create a pure, natural, unadorned accord. A harmony that is both discreet and profound, like the murmur of an orange grove in the early morning.
