GRAND CRU - Premium green tea from Japan
Harvest time is like a dance in harmony with nature. Every year, as the leaves on the trees turn warm hues, our farmer friends prepare to harvest the fruits of their hard work. During this time of hard work, the fields and orchards are transformed into a treasure trove of flavors and colors.
For our small tea brand, this is a particularly exciting time. The tea plantations reveal their most beautiful leaves, ready to be harvested and transformed into delicious infusions. The Mademoiselle's always look forward to these magical moments.
Harvest time is also a time for sharing. Communities come together to harvest together, strengthening bonds and creating lasting memories. It’s a celebration of nature, the bounty of the earth, and a love of all things girly and kind.
So, this season, let's take the time to appreciate the beauty of the harvest, savor each sip of carefully harvested tea and celebrate the magic of nature. Mademoiselle's invites you to join this sweet celebration with this set of a cup and saucer matching the colors of Autumn.

🌱 What is black tea?
Contrary to popular belief, black tea can be less rich in theine than green tea. Because it is not because it has more tannins (more bitter, thicker, more colored) that it will be more theinated than other colors of tea.
🍵 How to prepare your black tea properly
Black teas are less fragile than green or white teas, so they are prepared between 80 and 90°C.
A black tea will infuse for between 3 and 5 minutes. More, if you like your teas full-bodied. But be careful, the longer the infusion and the higher the water temperature, the more bitterness develops.
These instructions are important because they help preserve not only the taste of the tea, but also its health-giving properties.
🧋 Cold infusion
Put 10 to 20g of tea in 1L of cold or room temperature water. Divide into two disposable tea bags Le Jardin de Mademoiselle. Iced tea is not an exact science: the colder the water and the larger the container, the slower the tea will infuse. Taste after the first hour. If it does not have enough flavor, add 30 minutes. Taste every additional 30 minutes until its flavors are diffused into the water.
