The Tsuru Collection brings together Cap sur le Thé’s documentary guides dedicated to the history, culture, and transformation of tea. It is designed for both curious beginners preparing their first leaves and enthusiasts seeking to better understand what lies behind every cup.

You can start with the first Tsuru and follow the guides in numerical order. Each chapter builds on the previous one: from the origins of tea to its harvest, then from its production to its enjoyment. You can also choose a topic directly according to your interests.

Conceived as a progressive journey, the Tsuru Collection connects the terroirs, the craft of the producers, and the preparation tips. Each guide answers a specific question, following one simple rule: keep it simple without being simplistic.
