While it varies depending on the season, approximately 200 teas are available. We offer various packaging, including 3.5 oz loose leaf pouches, metal tins and individually wrapped cotton tea bags. We also have assortment sets of loose tea and tea bags that are perfect for gifting.

Natural flavoring is obtained by extracting aromatic substances contained in spices, citrus, flowers and fruits, to name a few examples. Synthetic flavoring is used if the aromatic substances are difficult or impossible to extract (for example, vanilla cream,) or are an entirely artificial creation (such as “cola” flavors commonly found in candy). The safety and quality of our teas and infusions is of utmost importance to Palais des Thes. That is why we favor natural flavourings in our creations and avoid entirely synthetic creations. All our flavourings are sourced exclusively in the European Union, thereby ensuring their quality.

You can look for a tea using the search menu by entering the name of the tea.

All orders come with three free tea bag samples. Unfortunately the samples you receive are based on availability and cannot be chosen. At this stage, we’re unable to send out samples before you’ve placed an order.

Preparing tea is an essential condition to making the most of your infusion. For the optimal water temperature, steeping time and tea quantity, check the infusion chart on each tea page on our website or on the packaging.
