Les Jardins de Gaïa, initiated by the passionate Arlette Rohmer, unveil the culinary treasures of the world through tea, the second most consumed beverage in the world. Since 1994, Arlette has explored Asia, Africa, and South America in search of rare teas and exceptional plants, all grown organically. In the beginning, she packaged these findings in her kitchen before sharing them at organic markets. Her relentless pursuit of quality has sparked enriching encounters and flourishing opportunities. Les Jardins de Gaïa are committed to organic farming, favoring small producers and promoting a human approach. Today, the brand is recognized for its expertise, passion for tea, and respect for Nature and Man, from the field to your cup.
To fully preserve their flavor, it is recommended to store Jardins de Gaïa teas and herbal infusions away from heat, light, and moisture. Also, avoid exposing them to odorous substances such as tobacco or coffee. Store them in their original container, properly sealed, or in a container designed for this purpose.
Jardins de Gaïa does not disclose the specific origin of the teas used in flavored and blended products. However, this does not indicate a lack of traceability. Generally, they select high-quality tea blends from various small gardens located in Southeast Asia (China, India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Vietnam, South Korea) and Africa (Tanzania, Rwanda). Rooibos and honeybush come from South Africa, while mate and lapacho originate from South America.
Teas and herbal infusions are processed agricultural products, and their organoleptic characteristics can fluctuate from one harvest to another, which is part of their charm. Jardins de Gaïa strives to maintain the quality and consistency of the products, but they cannot guarantee absolute uniformity due to natural variations.
Jardins de Gaïa flavors some teas and herbal infusions themselves after receiving the raw materials. This step is carried out by hand in their facilities in Alsace. Natural flavors are used to subtly enhance the flavors, highlighting the organoleptic richness of the teas and plants. The main ingredients remain tea or herbs, accompanied by natural flavors, fruits, spices, and flowers selected for their origin and quality.
