Compagnie Coloniale is the oldest tea brand in France, founded in Paris in 1848. It is one of the last brand which controls all the transformation, flavouring and packing in its own factory based in France. It was rewarded by the ‘Collège Culinaire de France’ for its engagement and values promoting French gastronomy.
A UNIQUE KNOW-HOW
'MADE IN FRANCE'
Compagnie Coloniale is famous for the blend quality, and also for the brillance 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 nose and in the cup.
We keep expanding our selection of teas Compagnie Coloniale every year. Feel free to let us know the ones you would like us to add on the list. We serve them in our tea room and sell the loose leaves by weight.
