It is the most incredible state in Brazil, with a climate and vegetation reminiscent of his dear Madagascar.

A word from Arnaud Sion: Saudade and Music
"To discover this tea for the first time, I suggest you listen to Chiclete com Banana - Voa Voa. This track evokes the "Saudade" felt when leaving the state of Bahia. In this Sun of Bahia green tea, you will find all this emotion and warmth."
Arnaud's view on this tea
Bahia, for me, is not a simple tourist destination, it is a crush. The climate, the vegetation, the light — everything reminds me of Madagascar, where the Comptoir adventure began. I really thought of this aromatic profile on the spot, during a stay in Salvador, trying to put what I felt in a cup: the heat, the nonchalance, the maracujá squeezed at the counter of a lanchonete, and the omnipresent lemon.
It is a 100% Brazilian tribute in spirit. The Sencha green tea base, married with a little Pai Mu Tan white tea, is my little signature: the white tea brings a cottony sweetness that rounds out the acidity of the lemon and passion fruit, preventing the blend from becoming aggressive. It is a tea that I drink mainly iced, throughout the summer, while thinking of Bahia.
Bahia, Salvador and maracujá: the soul of this tea
The State of Bahia, in the Brazilian Northeast, is the vibrant cradle of Afro-Brazilian culture. Its capital, Salvador, was the very first capital of colonial Brazil (1549-1763) and remains today the undisputed epicenter of samba, candomblé, capoeira and cuisine with dendê oil. It is a sunny, eminently festive land, where the famous "Bahian joy of living" is not a cliché, but a true everyday art of living.
Passion fruit — maracujá — is omnipresent there: consumed as an iced and frothy juice in the morning, it sets the rhythm for hot days. Its deep acidity and hint of bitterness make it a fruit that naturally calls for the sharp acidity of lemon. It is this summer meeting, observed on the spot, that the Sun of Bahia puts in the cup: the tropical generosity of maracujá, tempered by the zesty freshness of lemon and lemongrass, all on a base of green and white tea sweet enough not to crush the fruits.
