Production Philosophy
Jasbire is a single-origin tea beverage from Grands Jardins, the producer co-founded by Vincent Mesnage and Edouard Malbois. The house approaches tea "in the manner of wine" (le thé à la manière du vin), positioning its cold-brewed teas as a fine-wine alternative served by the bottle in gastronomic restaurant settings, with tea sourced directly from individual plots (parcelles). Jasbire is built on a Nepali white tea from Ilam, drawn from the first spring harvest of 2025 and grown at 1800m altitude.[1]
