MAINTAINING FRIENDSHIPS WITH OUR PRODUCERS FOR OVER 30 YEARS

 
If you want to discover the finest teas, you have to go meet the tea growers directly. By doing this from the outset, we’ve been able to forge long-lasting friendships based on respect. This relationship of trust gives us privileged access to rare varietals grown using skills passed down the generations, and whose ephemeral flavors vary from harvest to harvest. We return from each trip filled with new knowledge and techniques that we share with other producers, in our common goal of creating exceptional teas.

CURATING EXCEPTIONAL FLAVORED CREATIONS INSPIRED BY TRAVELS AND EMOTIONS

 
Mathias Minet has been creating delicately balanced flavored creations at Palais des Thés for more than twenty years.
Flavored tea is an exacting art which requires playing with subtle combinations to achieve the perfect balance between tea and aromas. This balance creates an emotion which is designed to awaken the senses.
 
Each blend starts with an idea, a memory, an encounter. Each blend has its own story to tell, born from Mathias' intuition and creative freedom.
 
Source of fulfilment
 
 
«I believe that a successful flavored tea is one that arouses emotion, be it joy or awe. The smell, the taste, they evoke something deep inside you, taking you back to a memory unique to you. 
 It’s a source of fulfilment. »

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND OUR FLAVORED TEAS

 
  •  
    Hammam tea
    Flavored green tea – fruity & floral
     
    Hammam tea
    We wanted to evoke the true Turkish steam bath experience. This green tea is inspired by the traditional Turkish hammam, an ancient ritual promoting relaxation and a clear mind. The floral and fruity notes evoke green dates, orange blossom and red berries, scents found while strolling through a garden along the Bosporus Strait. A mere sip of this tea and the heady scents transport the drinker to these distant shores.

    Spring of London
    Earl Grey
     
    Spring of London
    We’ve combined a first-flush Darjeeling with beautiful bergamot. The challenge lay in finding the common element that brought it all together, enabling bergamot’s light zesty scent to harmonize with the delicately fleeting first-flush Darjeeling notes.
  •  
    Garden of Venus
    Infusions du Louvre
     
    Garden of Venus
    For Garden of Venus, our inspiration came from the Mediterranean sunlight, evoking a stroll in a garden full of white flowers and citrus fruits, losing yourself amongst the columns of forgotten temples. The sweetness of vanilla, the fruity orange scent and the delicate carob fragrance whisk you away to that Eden.
  •  
    Lords’ Tea
    Earl Grey
     
    Lords’ Tea
    Lords’ Tea is a quintessential English tea which revisits the great Earl Grey classic, whose full-bodied flavor is owed to the blend of bergamot and Indian black tea. It makes for an excellent everyday tea, to be enjoyed especially at breakfast for the perfect wake me up. This tea has the most pronounced bergamot flavor amongst all our Earl Grey blends.
  •  
    Tibetan Monks Tea
    Flavored black & green teas – Floral
     
    Tibetan Monks Tea
    Inspired by the mysterious aromas emanating from secret ancestral blends made by Tibetan monks. We wanted to recreate that alchemy that oozes a sensation of tranquility. Lose yourself in this incredibly floral tea and feel suspended in the moment.
