Green tea
The history of the George Cannon Tea House began in 1898 when George Cannon, a British citizen, married a French woman and subsequently created an eponymous tea trading company in Paris.
In 1970, André Scala bought the company. In 1978, his son joined him at the helm. It was his son who quickly realised that further growth of the company could be achieved by venturing into the flavoured teas market, and as a result he persuaded his father to invest in the area. It was the start of a successful era.
Unknown to the general public for a long time, the tea house succeeded in developing a unique style and today boasts more than 500 original high quality teas as well as a range of scented teas.
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
