Black teas

Black tea, also known as red tea in China, is produced by the oxidation of tea leaves. This oxidation allows the leaf to develop its profile and reveal its aromatic complexity, guided by a tea master who controls its intensity. Thanks to our historic relationships with centuries-old gardens, we offer you a selection of leaves and harvests with unique flavors. This extensive collection brings together our most iconic teas. Throughout history, our company has specialized in creating black teas with sweet and delicate notes. Because the choice of black tea influences the beauty of the liqueur, our company has developed a signature Fauchon blend over the years. A unique combination of black tea from Sri Lanka for structure and black tea from China for roundness. Enhanced by other ingredients like Blackcurrant or Strawberry, this signature blend offers a sweet and low-tannin tasting experience.
