What green tea is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?
Our master infusers have unearthed a full-bodied green tea whose green notes linger in the mouth for a long time: Yunnan green tea .
100% organic, it comes from the oldest tea plants in China, in a mountainous region.
It is called the Mocha of teas for its taste quality, or even Surgeon's Tea because it is said to wake you up without irritating you.
Green tea and black tea come from the same shrub; it is the strength of oxidation that distinguishes them.


In which recipes do our master infusers use tea?
At Les 2 Marmottes, we don't hesitate to use several tea essences depending on our recipes.
Yunnan green tea is an invigorating green tea for the initiated, to be consumed in the morning or after a good nap.
Other less full-bodied green teas are used forMince Alors or for our homemade Menth'Olé Tea recipe . Fleur'Thé Jasmin Green Tea is naturally the most floral.
It is by layering the green tea leaves with the jasmine flowers for several nights that their delicate scents intermingle.
A 100% natural flavoring process: at Les 2 Marmottes, no flavorings are ever added to our infusions and teas!
