LE PALAIS DES THÉS started out with a group of about fifty tea enthusiasts who were dissatisfied with the teas available on the market at the time and decided to create their own business.

In order to guarantee the freshness and quality of their teas they chose to source their product directly from the growers. They visit the plantations regularly, which will allow them to improve, observe and oversee both the working conditions of the pickers and the agricultural methods used together with hygiene and safety standards. It became an opportunity for them to meet the men and women whose livelihoods depend on tea and to explore the richness of the cultures that have inspired this beverage.

By visiting the plantations frequently and by forming lasting relationships with their suppliers, based on trust and friendship, they pursue their mission: to bring to the consumer the highest quality teas and to share their travels and experiences with them, whilst always keeping a watchful eye on environmental issues, working conditions on the plantations and fair trading practices.
