The adventure around tea goes back to the genesis of the Fauchon house. In 1886, the famous house decided to import its excellent tea from China.
Fauchon then selects the best vintages and introduces its fine gourmets to subtle and emblematic green teas in the “grand tea room” opened in 1898. Customers can taste emblematic and unique teas such as “Siva” or “Mandarin Ming”.
With the opening of his tea house on Place de la Madeleine, Fauchon established what would become a Parisian institution: the "Five O'Clock Tea" as opposed to the traditional English "Tea Time" of four hours.
In the 1960s , the brand paved the way for the creation of scented teas with floral notes, then fruity notes. The idea was to create scented accords between the best tea origins and the most delicate aromas of flowers, fruits and spices. The Pomme tea created in 1972 became a best-seller in Japan. It is this culture of scented tea that has allowed French tea to acquire its letters of nobility internationally by translating French hedonism.
FAUCHON thus imagines compositions of flavored teas in total harmony with its gourmet creations and associated with a certain French art of living. We are thinking in particular of biscuits, chocolates, macaroons, pastries but also savory dishes.
Today , FAUCHON claims this tradition which is written in its history, its French art of living. The brand affirms its know-how as a creator of flavored teas through a collection that embodies refinement, spirit, Parisian luxury and gourmandise. Discovering the olfactory finesse and taste balance of these exclusive aromatic blends, designed by FAUCHON experts like real perfumes, thus offers a unique experience to its customers.
Green tea from China, black tea from Ceylon, Darjeeling, Earl Grey… each tea has its own fragrant notes: herbaceous or floral, round or full-bodied, each is the fruit of an ancestral protocol: cultivation, harvest, fermentation, drying. To offer the best flavored teas, FAUCHON cultivates its long tradition because it is an art to detect among the varieties of teas, those which, alone or in a blend, will magnify with its original notes the final bouquet of an exceptional perfumed creation.
Today, the FAUCHON house offers a range (or assortment) of flavored teas to enjoy at home thanks to the opening of its luxury tea boutique located at 11 place de la madeleine. Find on site a selection of the best flavored teas in bulk, in bags or in pre-packaged metal boxes.
