Healthier than wine, tea is a drink with flavours as delicate and varied. Now very trendy on lifestyle blogs, there are hundreds of mixtures. More and more brands dedicated to the art of tea are thus flourishing, like the Palais des Thés. François was founded by François, a passionate tea researcher who has travelled around the world for 25 years to identify the most promising tea plantations. Since then, the brand has opened shops throughout France. Each of them has a sober and modern design, a tasting corner where you can taste the new ones and another dedicated to the accessories needed to infuse a good tea (iron teapots, selected temperature kettles, tea filters, etc.). In Rouen, the friendly staff is always quick to distil their advice, to steer you towards teas in accordance with your tastes: rather an Earl Grey, infusion, black tea, green or white tea, delicate, wooded, fruity, smoked. If you don't know what tea to choose from, choose Hammam Tea, a green Chinese tea (pink, green dates, red fruits and orange flowers) that never disappoints.
