Corinne, the founder, searches the world for the perfect fresh ingredients; travelling windy roads to renowned mountain tea gardens in Sri Lanka and remote China, strolling cobbled paths through summer fields of lavender in Provence; and coming home to delight in Lemon Myrtle in the northern rivers and Australian Mountain Pepper growing in her very own piece of paradise in Gippsland.
We build long term relationships.
Each of our key ingredients comes from single origin growers, whose focus is on quality. They have worked with their same favourite Lemon Myrtle partner, Round Leaf Mint grower, our tea packers, printers and designers for more than ten years.
These long term relationships extend to the tea gardens in Sri Lanka and China; they have been buying our signature black tea leaf from Ceciliyan estate, and their favourite Green Jasmine from the small land holder group in Jiang Xi since day one.
Sustainability
It is a grounding pleasure to see, touch and smell real tea leaves, spices and flower petals through the delicate mesh of our tea pyramids.
Fifteen years ago though, as she was building Madame Flavour, one of my her dilemma’s was the discovery that the beautiful pyramid bags of the time were mostly made from nylon.
For her this was a deal breaker, so, she painstakingly researched and finally located a supplier in Osaka Japan, the only one in the world, who was producing 100% plant based Green-pla certified biodegradable material and with whom they continue to work today
That first test reflects their ongoing mindfulness of packaging and the environment; from their Rainforest Alliance certified tea, to vegetable ink printed cartons and our most recent development; the granting of Carbon Inset certification to our packer in Sri Lanka
