Explore the Origins of Tea with Four Distinct Regional Flavours
This Palais des Thés tea selection features four miniature caddies of loose leaf teas, each showcasing unique flavours from distinct Asian terroirs. Included are SENCHA ARIAKE, a crisp and refreshing Japanese green tea with subtle herbal and iodine notes, perfect for a morning boost; GRAND YUNNAN IMPÉRIAL, a Chinese black tea known as the "surgeon's tea," offering naturally energising honeyed aromas; DARJEELING MARGARET'S HOPE, a summer black tea from the Himalayan highlands, delivering a woody, fruity character that stimulates without overwhelming; and BUTTERFLY OF TAIWAN, a Taiwanese oolong that balances floral and fruity notes for a delightful tasting experience.
Palais des Thés was formed when 50 discerning tea drinkers decided to create their own business. In order to guarantee the freshness and quality of their teas, they source them directly from the plantations.
Their frequent visits to the plantations and their fostering of lasting relationships with suppliers, not only allows Palais des Thés to bring you the best quality products and share their travels and experiences, it also ensures the effective management of environmental problems, plantation working conditions and their fair trade policy.
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.
