L’Esprit de L’Eau Candle CIRE TRUDON

Trudon and Maître Tseng imagined a collection of 3 scented candles that celebrate the world of tea and its five thousand years history in China.
Yu Hui Tseng, from a very old Chinese family and is descendant of the first disciple of Confucius, represents both tradition and modernity in tea. Maître Tseng spends most of her time in Asia with exceptional tea producers. Thirty years ago, she made her first expeditions along the ancient tea routes in remote regions to reach the primary forests where the precious leaves are harvested in extreme conditions. As vigilant as she is demanding, Maître Tseng orchestrates every single stage of the elaboration of her teas.
As the holder of the tradition, she has brought tea into the modern era, creating close relationships with great figures of world gastronomy. In the early 1990s, in the heart of the Quartier Latin (Paris), Maître Tseng created La Maison des Trois Thés, which has become the largest tea cellar in the world and a sanctuary for connoisseurs and professionals.

THE JOURNEY OF WATER: a Maître Tseng x Trudon Collection expressed in three stages of scented candles.

In L’Esprit de l’Eau – Mineral Woods
Water remains between its vapor and liquid states, it has not yet made its choice.
In its barely embodied purity, water remains with the grey-green shades of mountains.
While running on slopes, water meets with the poetic freshness of a floral universe.

L’Esprit de L’Eau (The Spirit of Water) is embodied by a mystical water with the fragrance of incense.
Created by Benoist Lapouza, it combines a mineral accord, that of clear water gliding over mountain rocks, with woody notes of cedar and of cypress, as well as spicy notes of pepper and juniper berry.

L’Esprit de L’Eau illustrates high perspective and purity, as its name in Chinese suggests: Book of Song (Dynasty) refers to the ascetic philosophy of that time, seeking from nature inspiration for a spiritual life in solitude and elevation.
