“ Tea is given a stage, a mise-en-scène, where it is protected, nurtured and admired – before it is even infused – thereby sparking an emotion, an anticipation, and a promise.”

Madame Yu Hui Tseng is widely considered the world’s foremost expert on tea. She is one of only ten recognized Gongfu Tea Masters across the globe, and is the only woman among this venerated group, as well as the sole one based in the Occident. A true custodian of the ancient Way of Tea, Madame Tseng was raised in a family that has been growing and selling tea for generations, and learned the art of tea in Taiwan with the legendary Master Zhang Tianfu, before moving to Paris where she established the acclaimed La Maison de Trois Thés in 1994. This renowned and atmospheric boutique holds over 1,000 varieties of tea - some of which outprice gold per gram. La Maison de Trois Thés also boasts the largest tea cellar in Europe, in which over 500 varieties of tea are stored and aged under optimal conditions.
