This Grand Cru is cultivated in France, in the heart of the Blavet Valley in Morbihan, Brittany. The region's humidity and acidic soil provide the perfect conditions for growing tea with an exceptional wealth of fragrances!
Discover an unexpected terroir with this gourmet black tea from Brittany, with notes of honey, wood and cocoa supported by a smooth texture. A true gem!
This tea is organically grown and has been certified by an approved independent testing center
Packaging
This organic Grand Cru comes from France, an emerging tea sector with still very low yields. We therefore only have small volumes of this exceptional tea and have chosen to offer it in a small 10 g pouch so that as many people as possible can discover it!
Moreover, this high-quality tea can be infused several times, in a gaiwan, for example, to reveal its full potential.
