The full story
Founded in 2015
Since its creation in 2015, Thé de France has been committed to developing the best cultivars, specifically adapted to our ancient Breton lands. No other region in the world has the same combination of land, climate and environment - that's why we spent time developing our own very own cultivars adapted for this region:
-
Camellia Sinensis 'TdF Conan'
-
Camellia Sinensis 'TdF Budic II'
-
Camellia Sinensis 'TdF Waroch II'
Each with its own unique quality, 2022 is the year when our proudly French plants are ready to be shared with the world.
2023
With our established harvest table, our talented pickers and a refined tea production, we are now ready to reveal to the world the quality and uniqueness of tea produced in France.
