Rova caviar & TWG Tea
The « caviar-tea » gift box, a tasty, sweet-savoury pair for tasting gourmet comfort food.
Originally from Japan, genmaicha is a blend of green tea and roasted, puffed brown rice. Once brewed, this plant-flavoured elixir with its slightly caramelized roasted cereals gives you a beautifully mellow feeling.
On the palate, the melting texture and tangy tones of Baerii caviar or the crunchy, hazelnut flavours of Oscietra caviar, – a favourite with leading chefs – give you a delicately flavoured culinary experience.
Together with a caviar key and mother-of-pearl spoons, this gift box is ideal for exploring harmonious, silky-smooth flavours.

Your Rova caviar has been delivered to you with care, together with a cool pack of extra ice to guarantee the temperature stays perfect during transport. After taking your cans of caviar out of the cool pack, store them flat in the fridge between 0°C to 4°C. Keeping to these temperatures is essential to make sure Rova caviar stays excellent until the use-by date on the back of each can, before it is opened. After opening, your caviar will keep in its can for 24 hours in the fridge.
The tea leaves are fragile and should be kept in their Saturn TWG Tea caddy away from light and heat.
Rova Caviar Madagascar is committed to protecting the environment and asks you to dispose of your empty caviar cans carefully.
In order to meet international travel standards, we recommend that you respect the quantity of caviar allowed. From France, if you are travelling within France or the European Union, the quantity of caviar carried is not limited. However, outside the European Union, you may not exceed 125g of caviar per person in your personal hold baggage. In Madagascar, if you take a domestic flight, the quantity of caviar is not limited.
Rova Caviar recommends that you place the caviar flat in your luggage to prevent the grains from spoiling. If you are travelling on a long-haul flight, place two or three gel ice packs in the insulated bag.
Place the open can on a bed of crushed ice, then serve your caviar using a spoon made of mother-of-pearl, unvarnished wood, or gold but certainly not metal, stainless steel, or silver which would oxidize it.
Drinking Genmaicha tea is an art! We recommend heating the water to 80°C, to avoid any bitter taste in the tea. Leave to brew for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Do not boil the water and risk changing the flavour of the tea and losing all its benefits.
Genmaicha tea is 50% green tea and 50% rice grains, so it is naturally low in theine, which means it can be drunk all day from breakfast to dinner and even more so as iced tea during the summer!
The tangy, plant and hazelnut notes of the “caviar-tea” chord are a delight! We recommend tasting them by themselves at first. Then for a more gourmet experience, put Rova caviar on toast, blinis, steamed potatoes, fresh pasta, with or without fresh cream, together with scrambled, soft-boiled, hard-boiled eggs, fresh or smoked salmon, sushi, scallop carpaccio, beef tartare, etc.
