Brand name | Chameau |
Meaning of name | Chameau, the French word for camel, is one of the oldest tea brands in Mali. The image of the two-humped camel refers to the journey of tea on the terrestrial silk road on which camels transported black tea in the form of tea cakes across Asia to Eastern Europe and the Orient up to Alexandria. It is owned by Chinese importers and the older green packages display a characteristic type of floral ornament that is also found on other Chinese-owned tea brands (Temple du Ciel). |
