My niece Aurélie launched Le Palais des Thés US

Twenty-five years ago I created Le Palais des Thés to turn my passion into a job, and to share with other enthusiasts the pleasures of tasting the world’s best teas. Since she was little, my niece Aurélie has always seen me with a cup of tea in my hand and has listened to my stories of distant travels to the plantations of China and Japan. A year ago, Aurélie, who has grown up to be a great connoisseur of tea herself, decided to start an exciting new venture and a fantastic challenge. Accompanied by Cy, her husband, she has decided to move to the United States and write a new chapter in this family story, by launching Le Palais des Thés in North America.

I am hugely proud of my niece and I know she will succeed – I have seen how passionate she and her husband are. They have a pioneering spirit.

  1. Hello François,
    I stumbled upon your blog and was very excited to read your tea adventures but I must say I was disappointed to find so little written about Assam Tea– surely it is the finest tea in the world! I am the daughter of an Assam tea planter, and I have tea in my blood! I have written plenty about Assam Tea on my blog
    http://teabuddy.wordpress.com/ (please look under the drop down “TEA” tab on top). Congratulations to Aurélie on starting the American chapter of Le Palais des Thés. I will google it and check it out for sure. My best to you. Shona

    1. Dear Shona, Thank you for your comment. I’ll try to share more about Assam. I like Assam tea estates very much. I was last year around Jorhat and I loved it. I stayed in Dufflating, in Amgoorie…
      Congratulations for your blog and history of bungalows !
      François
