The sustainable tea life

It is our pleasure to guide you in your discovery of tea. We want to do this in a way that protects our environment as much as possible: the ecosystems around us and the places where tea comes from. Everything we do can have an impact and at Palais des Thés we are all working hard to make the world of the future closer to our ideal: a more responsible, caring world in which sharing plays an important role.

We have already taken initiatives through long-term commitments. In tea-producing countries, we support farmers in their transition to organic methods. Our targets for 2026 include continuing to work towards zero plastic across all our ranges, offering 100% organic single-estate and flavoured blends, and achieving carbon-neutral status. Thanks to your support, we can go even further. How? By making sure you use reusable containers for storing the teas and herbal infusions we sell. By remembering to heat only the amount of water you need to make your tea. Nearly half the carbon footprint of a cup of tea comes from the way it is prepared by the consumer. So by using the correct amount of water and heating it to the desired temperature, you can help us reduce our impact!

Everything we do counts: together we can make tea consumption more responsible and create a sustainable, inspiring future.
