We are very excited and proud to announce another important step in our project's life!
Our collection has been expanded with stunning teas from Japan, created by experienced masters from Kirishima, Kagoshima, Kyushu, and thoroughly selected by Japanese tea expert - Florian Aumaire.
FLORIAN AUMAIREis an experienced tea taster with 17+ years of experience. He came from a tea drinking family which is a rare thing in France and started his tea journey in a
Palais des thés company. Having the chance to be close to old employees to learn a lot, he studied high-quality teas from Himalaya, China and Japan. He spent 7 years in this company rising his mastery as a professional tea taster and providing trainings and degustations to educate others. Next important step was work for
Le Parti du thé, where Florian spent 5 years, traveling to Asia for sourcing teas, as well as hold tea courses and experiment with tea pairing in Paris. In 2018, Florian became a local champion in
Tea Masters Cup France and won 3
rd place in
Tea Masters Cup International in Hue, Vietnam. After this achievement Florian decided to leave Paris and go to the birthplace of French Gastronomy, in the city of Lyon, and opened his own tea shop and company called
Les Thés sur Terre. Now, Florian and his wife Sophie (also a tea expert), are working together to experiment with Tea Pairing and sourcing unique teas from different countries.
"My first experience with tea was at 8 years old in a judo training with Japanese tea masters, trying Matcha and Sencha. I think that Japanese green teas are one of my favourite because it reminds me of that time. "Florian Aumaire
