How did the company come about?

The company started 17 years ago when I decided to be an entrepreneur. I had previously trained in business and innovation, almost by chance, I began to observe in a magazine that there was a girl who made specific blends of tea and from there we began to mix tea. What we were looking for from the beginning was to bring tea from India and combine it with Latin ingredients and that was when I started in the world of tea. Currently we decided to turn to organic production, since we achieved very interesting organic harvests of pure green tea and pure black tea, in the province of Misiones.

What is the origin of the name and what does it mean?

What are the characteristics of organic teas?

We have two. On the one hand, organic green tea, which is a whole leaf tea and has a very balanced mild flavor (with a bit of astringency) and has fresh floral notes. A recommendation to consume it is to leave it inficia for a very short time, something like two minutes. While black tea is much more intense, being oxidized under a specific process, it has other flavors such as dried fruits, with an incredible aroma.

How is your production process?

It all begins in the province of Misiones where the harvest is done, respecting the times of nature. Then there they make the separation, if it is green tea they quickly dry it, while if it is a black tea they let it oxidize and then they dry it. Everything is done in warehouses and with care. Later, we bring the teas to our warehouse, which is certified, where we have specific machines for organic teas. Finally, we place them in their specific containers so that they can be distributed.
