Description
Tibetan Monks Tea, inspired by a legend
In Tibet, the legend goes that an order of monks prepared a blend of tea in secret, made from plants and flowers. After the leaves underwent a few days of maceration, they were carefully sorted and left to one side.
This mysterious alchemy transformed tea into gold, giving Tibetan Monks Tea its exceptional fragrance.
The creation of Tibetan Monks Tea
As Mathias Minet, co-founder and creator of the flavoured teas at Palais des Thés, explains, the inspiration for this tea came from the mysterious, little-known fragrances that were reveals by the age-old blends made by Tibetan Monks. While searching for the secret alchemy that was able to offer immediate tranquillity, he created this highly aromatic blend combining green and black tea leaves with flower petals (jasmine, marigold, etc.). Thanks to its highly floral notes, this tea invites you to escape to faraway shores and get lost in your thoughts, at least for as long as your tea break allows you.
Try the wealth of aromas this uncommon floral blend has to offer, available in loose leaf or tea bag format, and set off on a unique sensory adventure.
