The creative process of the n°11 – Route d’Or tea comes to life with authentic inspirations.
It all begins with the childhood memories of Chef Christian SINICROPI, particularly the walks through the mimosa fields that are so dear to him.
Carine BAUDRY drew inspiration from his stories to select the tea that would best enhance the mimosa, a delicate but essential step.
During the creation, the aim was to achieve a perfect balance, combining vegetal notes with a harmonious structure on the palate, in order to elevate the sensory experience.
The choice then naturally fell on two green teas from Japan: Sencha and Gyokuro, which enhance the mimosa and create this tea of balance and Harmony.
The mimosa flower is inseparable from Christian SINICROPI, as it represents far more than a simple botanical element for him. This flower, emblematic of his native town, Mandelieu-La-Napoule, has woven a deep emotional bond with him, evoking precious memories of his childhood in the mimosa forests.
For Christian SINICROPI, the mimosa flower is the symbol of his roots, his history and his love for his signature cuisine.
By incorporating these emblematic flowers into his creative process in the kitchen, he brings a personal and emotional touch to his culinary creations.
Thus, for Christian SINICROPI, the mimosa flower embodies far more than a simple decorative or aromatic element; it is the common thread that connects his origins, his identity and his creativity, making each mouthful a unique sensory and emotional experience.
Celebrating the mimosa flower in tea thus became an obvious choice.
A symbol of the sun and of gold, the Route du Mimosa embodies the winter French Riviera, offering, under a mild climate, a luminous escape where azure blue mingles with the brilliant yellow of the flowers, for a unique itinerant getaway.
The choice of the mimosa flower at the heart of the tea reflects the desire to highlight the richness of the Riviera terroir. It was in the Tanneron Massif, the cradle of mimosa cultivation, that Carine BAUDRY and Christian SINICROPI met Alix ABELLO — a passionate “nose” belonging to the third generation of mimosa growers in his family. With deep family roots, this mimosa grower masters a unique know-how.
The entire harvesting process is carried out by hand in the hills of the plantations. The production, respectful of the environment, is grown without any sprayed phytosanitary products, without pesticides or fertilisers, to preserve the integrity of the land and offer an authentic production.
It is with this goldsmith’s work that the best of the mimosa could be selected and incorporated into the n°11 – Route d’Or tea.
To prolong the taste and sensory experience of the n°11 – Route d’Or tea, the ceramicist Catherine SINICROPI designed an exclusive collection of ceramics inspired by the enchanting world of the Riviera mimosa forest.
A specialist in the creation of unique, bespoke pieces, Catherine SINICROPI is committed to redefining the art of the table in great starred establishments.
This refined collection thus enhances the synergy of the senses offered by the n°11 – Route d’Or tea, enriching the experience of each tasting.
