OUR AMAZING SELECTION OF TEAS IS ON THE WAY, WILL BE HERE SHORTLY!

At Douce France, we are proud to offer our customers a variety of teas from the Compagnie Coloniale. The Compagnie Coloniale is the oldest tea brand in France, founded in Paris in 1848! It is one of the last brands that control all the transformation, flavouring and packaging in its own factory based in France.

A UNIQUE KNOW-HOW 'MADE IN FRANCE'

Compagnie Coloniale is famous for the blend quality, and also for the brilliance aspect of the flavoured black tea leaves thanks to the unique stream flavouring process. This process sticks the aromas on the leaves, which then unveil the same delicate flavours in the nose and in the cup.

Compagnie Coloniale selects the best quality teas from great origins and prepares exclusive blends with fruits, spices, and flowers according to a tradition of excellence. Green teas come from non-fermented leaves. Specific care must be taken during infusion by using water at a moderate temperature between 60 and 80 degrees Celsius.
