  • LE GUIDE D'INITIATION AU THÉ VERT

    The Starter's Guide to Green Tea

    Il existe de nombreuses variétés de thé, toutes avec un goût et un arôme qui leur sont propres. Il est peut-être surprenant que le thé blanc, vert, oolong, noir et pu-erh soient tous produits à partir des feuilles de la même plante, le Camellia sinensis.


    Les différences de goût et de saveur sont influencées non seulement par les conditions climatiques et le type de sol, mais aussi par les processus auxquels les feuilles sont soumises après leur récolte.

    We are now stocked in MAME coffee shop in Zürich!

    Rolex, Lindt, Bally and the cuckoo-clock – what do they all have in common? “Switzerland”, I hear you think aloud. “Quality and precision engineering?” Indeed!  Nowhere else in the world can claim such accolades. Nowhere else in the world screams “quality” quite like Zurich. Okay, maybe there are others (including Geneva), which capture our imagination. Still, we Swiss know quality when we see it. So, when an award-winning café in Zurich asked to stock our teas, we were overjoyed to be recognised for our quality and brand.

    This award-winning café is called MAME. You can find it on Josefstrasse 160, Zurich. Run by two champion baristas named Emi-San and Mathieu, they know their coffee inside-out. Both Emi-San and Mathieu won the Swiss National Barista Championship (two years in a row) for their outstanding coffee-making skills. Their understanding of coffee itself and extremely well-honed brewing techniques are a sight to behold. Even an irregular coffee drinker would be bowled over by their know-how and dedication to the bean (side note, MAME means "beans" in Japanese).

    Teaura Teas at MAME Coffee Shop

    You can find our teas there now, brewed to perfection by Emi-San and Mathieu themselves. Pay them a well-deserved visit and order your favourite tea or try something totally new. We are confident that you will love our selection of fine teas. Tease out the delicate flavours of our tea leaves, get to know the uniqueness with each brew, soak in the wholesomeness as you hold the warm cup in your hands…
