Lydia – You’re right to challenge what Didier Jumeau-Lafond has said here and I think he’d agree. You may, however, be rising to the bait by taking what this provocateur utters a little too literally. His Goût Russe blend copied by 5,000 tea companies? Surely that’s said as hyperbole, if not with tea in cheek.

Jumeau-Lafond has not yet tasted delicious Green teas, such as high grade Dragonwell or greens from other cultivars. Given the minimalist processing of green teas, it is really quite remarkable how floral and sweet notes can be coaxed from the leaf, from their inherent properties, with nothing else added.
