Le Palais des Thés – A Gourmet Tea Experience

Take a gourmet tea trip to France without leaving your quiet tea spot. Le Palais des Thés invites you to visit and discover over 230 teas of every origin—from flavored tea, green tea from China and Japan, white tea, black tea to oolong tea, smoked tea and dark tea to caffeine-free red tea—you’ll find an astonishing variety to tempt your palate. And all this is done online—almost virtual. Just click on the tea catalog and access an almost endless supply of information on tea.

Tea enthusiasts can learn about tea-tasting, ceremonies and tea health at Le Palais des Thés Tea School. With a network of 19 shops in France, Ireland, Norway and Japan, the Tea School opens doors to the art of tea. Participants get to experience different tea ceremonies, and spend time with top chefs who use tea in their cuisine.

However, if you’re not planning to go abroad this year, you can still delight the palate with two exquisite teas from Le Palais des Thès, famed for their unique blends of specially selected, sustainably grown leaves. Le Palais de Thes Gift Set includes two of their most popular flavors, Fleur de Geisha, a caffeinated Japanese green sencha, gently scented with cherry blossoms; and Rooibos a là Camomile, a soothing, caffeine-free pairing of delicate chamomile and sweet leaves from the South African rooibos bush. You’ll also receive two gift tins and one package of tea filters.
