About Palais des Thés
Palais des Thés is a Paris tea house started in the mid-1980s by a group of friends that included François-Xavier Delmas, who still fronts the brand. Its store list shows 14 shops in Paris alone and more than 100 across France, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Italy and Israel. US buyers order through a separate US website.
It buys tea directly from growers rather than through brokers, and screens lots under its own SafeTea testing program. The US site carries both grand cru single-origins and flavored blends. Start with Blue of London, a bergamot black tea, and the Tahitian Rooibos if you want a caffeine-free option.
