Tea Salons

« Tea is a noble beverage. Preparing it is an art that combines skill and tradition » Henri Mariage

Each one of our tea houses offer a unique environment with a colonial spirit that combines prestige, raffinement and tradition. They present a tea-tasting salon that allows you to apreciate the best flushes, harvests and tea blends from 12:00 to 19:30.

The flushes from the most prestigious tea gardens are steeped behind an old oak bar, a true tea preparation counter. The Mariage Frères' golden rules, are applied and harshly used, for the enchantment of the lovers of the most refined and precious tea.

The control of water temperature and steeping time length are compulsory for a successful tea preparation. In order to preserve the tea flavors and scents, a purified water is used. The leaves are taken off the teapot before tea is served.

The epicures can also discovert our original preparations baked with tea: the French Art of Tea is for the most part an "art de la table", displayed in the "Cuisine au Thé" (Cooking with Tea) prepared everyday by our chefs in main courses and deserts.

Next to the tea counters, the tea salons, decorated with ancient furniture, set a peaceful path where tea lovers and gourmets can meet up with salty flavours and sweet temptations.
