New THEODOR tea - Scandale

August 10, 2010

Notes from Guillaume Leleu’s Travel Diary - April 2010 

"I can already hear the small chatter, criticisms and the echo of the self-righteous…but I don’t want to be bothered anyhow. This idea, this tea, I know that it needs to be. Doesn’t the Creation allow space for the unobserved, undisclosed…? I want to reply to this assertion that makes so many people drink Pu-Ehr for the health benefits granted to this only kind of the tea... It is true that Pu-Ehr has a strong taste, not always obvious, fermented, earthy, with a strong character…and why couldn’t we appreciate it? That is what I intimately think. That will create a Scandal for sure, flavoring a Pu-Erh, what sort of idea is this? So what? Where is the problem, does it alter the tea? But in that case, all the aromatic teas would not be tea anymore, no? A “Scandale”? Why not? I prefer a Pu-Erh with leaves rather than the brick, a “King of China”, one of the best, which will be my root for this tea…The older the Pu-Erh becomes; the more it unveils its notes.  The same is true for cinnamon; I appreciate it a few months old…and then to smoothe all of it, to create this invisible link, to blend the flavours, orchid, and vanilla with voluptuous notes. The combination is perfect, everything is expressed…I am now sure that we’ll love this tea, which deserves to be appreciated: this Pu-Erh for sure, we are going to hear about! "
