Ceylon Green Tea Ethiquable

Description

This green tea offers a beautiful coppery infusion and brings a certain roundness in mouth. It will assure you a maximum of vitality and well-being. The green tea will also promote the elimination of toxins.

It is in the heart of the mountainous massifs of Sri Lanka that this tea finds its origin. It is cultivated in the region of Kandy (900-1100 m). The succession of cool period and winter rainy season gives it its singular character.

Its copper-colored infusion is aromatic with a beautiful vegetal note.

This green tea from Ceylon is a fine plucking: only the bud and the first two leaves are taken.

Green tea from fair trade (Fairtrade label) and organic farming.

An ecological packaging

The packaging of this product is entirely recyclable in paper waste or compostable (depending on the part). In short, the cardboard box, the bags and the label are to be put in the paper waste. The infusette and the thread are to be put in the compost. Find all the details about this ecological packaging in our blog post: Zoom on the ecological packaging of Ethiquable teas.

The Small Organic Farmer Association (SOFA)

This cooperative in Sri Lanka gathers 2,600 producers who, in the face of large plantations, fight every day to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly small-scale tea farming

Fertilization is done with natural fertilizers from compost and vermiculture. Hedges and terraces are installed to capture water and maintain an ideal humidity on the plots. Fair trade allows them to finance training in order to master these techniques.

In addition, the small producers of this cooperative now receive a decent income. When the activities started in 1994, they had no support and were paid only 8 rupees per kilo. Today, they receive 85 rupees per kilo of tea.

Preparation

Steep your tea bag for 3 to 4 minutes in 95° water. Do not use boiling water, otherwise your green tea will lose its aroma and benefits.
