Meung

Meung sits within a lineup — alongside Da Hong Pao, Jasbire, Sakhejung, Kagoshima and Satemwa — that Grands Jardins builds around the idea of treating tea in the manner of wine ('le thé à la manière du vin'), sourcing leaf directly from individual plots and positioning the results as a gastronomic offer. The house frames its cold-brewed teas as a fine-wine alternative, served by the bottle in gastronomic restaurant settings.
