Kusmi Tea

The main ingredient may be ancient and tea a traditional drink, but the Kusmi Tea proposition is quite contemporary.

Kusmi teas present themselves as seductive therapeutic blends, offering combinations that promise to detoxify both body and spirit such as the Detox. Meanwhile, the Sweet Love awakens and refines the senses while the Be Cool keeps you relaxed. Algothé is rich in oligoelements and the Boost provides an extra mental and physical lift.

The spirit of the store envelops you in light, aromas, and colors that intoxicate.

Kusmi embraces modernity and after the opening of the New York store, the brand has over 2,000 followers on Twitter. It seems to have transformed into a style statement. A Kusmi way of being.

Few know its history.

Founded in 1867 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Kusmi, a merchant of teas from India, China, and Ceylon, moved to France after the fall of the Tsar. Although the company is no longer owned by the Kusmichoff family, it still retains some traditional blends that bear the name of the old Russian nobility.

The Anastacia contains bergamot, lemon, and orange blossom. The Prince Wladimir is made with citrus fruits, vanilla, and spices.

Although the teas can be found at Galeries Lafayette, BHV, in Le Marais, and along the Champs Elysées, the little shop at 56 rue de Seine is intimate and charming.

Kusmi: 56 rue de Seine, 75006 Paris.
