Brew a Pot of Parisian Winter Cheer

Warm up with teas from Palais des Thés

Burrr, it's cold out there. Storm fronts are moving in across the country, and it's definitely tea drinking weather. So pull out those kettles and curl up with some of our favorite sustainably-sourced teas from Palais des Thés.

pdt gout russe 7 agrumes dark blue 100g tinGôut Rousse 7 Agrumes Black Tea

Our bestselling tea from Palais des Thés—inspired by Russian tea blends—combines ethically-sourced Chinese black tea with the flavors of lemon, lime, sweet and bitter orange, grapefruit, bergamot and mandarin.

Its rich, full-bodied taste and bold citrus notes make it a rousing stand-in for your morning coffee and breakfast tea or an enlivening afternoon pick-me-up with a slice of our housemade Orange-Scented Olive Oil Cake.

 

 

 

 

pdt fleur de geisha pink 100g tinFleur de Geisha Green Tea

Fleur de Geisha tea—a tribute to the women of Kyoto, Japan—combines Chinese green tea leaves with the delicate essence of cherry blossoms.

The tea has a mild floral bouquet and nuanced grassiness similar in flavor to Japanese jasmine green tea. For those of you looking for some extra winter warmth and libations, Fleur de Geisha makes an elegant addition to a Green Tea Gin Fizz.

 

 

 

 

pdt the des lords green 100g tinThé des Lords Earl Grey Tea

Earl Grey tea lovers, rejoice! This French take on the classic English blend highlights bold black tea flavored with vibrant bergamot and golden safflower petals.

While we love drinking this tea straight out of the pot, Thé des Lords also lends itself well to cooking. The intense notes of citrus in the tea pair especially well with chocolate—try it in silky tea-infused Chocolate Pots de Crème or Earl Grey Flourless Chocolate Cake topped with a sprinkling of Maldon sea salt.
