Jasmine Silver Sickle Organic

The pinnacle of an art

This rare tea is produced in certified organic gardens, where ancestral techniques are carried out with meticulous precision. The leaves are hand-sorted, then blended for several nights with fresh jasmine blossoms. After each cycle, the flowers are removed, a patient process repeated until the perfect intensity of fragrance is achieved without ever becoming overpowering. Drying in the sun on large bamboo mats completes this slow process. No mechanical drying. Nothing but daylight, air, and time.

Money and the Sickle

His name,Silver SickleThe silver sickle evokes far more than a simple ancestral tool. It whispers of the grace of movement, that of the picker at dawn, when the silvery mist still caresses the peaks of Guangdong. It also recalls the curve of a crescent moon, slender and shimmering, suspended above the jasmine fields. This almost mystical name pays homage to the delicacy of the craftsmanship, the luminous purity of the liqueur, and the almost celestial radiance of the leaves dotted with white tips, downy like silk. A sickle, not for reaping, but for chiseling perfection.

An elixir for the soul

Jasmine Silver Sickle is not a tea to accompany a meal. It is a tea for the moment. It calls for soft light, fine china, a quiet room. It is to be savored alone, or in the presence of a chosen soul, in the languor of a summer morning or the gentleness of a peaceful evening.

Tea and food pairings

With its crystalline freshness, elegant minerality, and ethereal jasmine notes, Jasmin Silver Sickle lends itself to culinary pairings that emphasize lightness, subtlety, and silky textures. It complements both refined sweet dishes and delicate savory creations.

On the sweet side, we're thinking of a thin lime and basil tartlet, almond flour and yuzu zest biscuits, cream puffs glazed with light jasmine cream, or even a muscat grape sorbet with a few fresh verbena leaves…

On the savory side, we recommend a scallop tartare with mild olive oil and Timut pepper, a sea bass or sea bream carpaccio with kumquat zest and pomegranate seeds, spring rolls with fine herbs, green mango and shrimp, or a cold pea velouté with fresh mint, enhanced with a drizzle of coconut cream.

These accords work because Jasmine Silver Sickle has a floral fragrance that doesn't overpower, and a mineral base that blends beautifully with pure, unsaturated flavors.
