our story

A story of passion and sharing.

At Thés & Traditions, tea has always been a love affair. The adventure began in 2016, when Julien Huot decided to share his passion and open his online shop. He set out in search of leaves from the world's finest plantations, mostly organic, building a collection of nearly 150 varieties.

He soon felt the need for a place where tea lovers could gather. He opened a shop in Dijon, which quickly became a meeting point for newcomers and enthusiasts alike, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Then life, full of discoveries, brought him to Provence. In the meantime, the collection had doubled: more than 300 teas and herbal infusions, hand-blended and packaged in France.

We move forward with one simple idea: tea brings people closer. Every infusion is chosen to create connection, to accompany the moments that matter, the pauses that do us good. We want every cup to invite you to slow down, savour, and share a genuine moment.

Julien, & the whole Thés & Traditions family

our living traditions

The gesture, the taste, the joy of sharing.

Traditions are not meant to stand still: they live, evolve, and reinvent themselves. Ours take shape across three essential dimensions.

Tea picking on a plantation
01

The tradition of the gesture

Tea always begins with a gesture. Ancient, on the world's finest plantations. Skilled, in our blends. And simple, at home: brewing a cup for someone you love, taking a quiet moment for yourself, offering a break that does real good.

The tradition of taste

Exceptional leaves and natural ingredients, often organic, sourced from the finest terroirs. We honour traditional recipes and dare to venture into bolder creations. Because a living tradition is one that dares.

03

The tradition of shared pleasure

Tea is a bond. The pleasure of sharing, of doing something good for yourself and others, of being together: morning tea with the family, an evening herbal infusion that soothes, a cup offered when someone drops by. Tea becomes a reason for generosity.

Between heritage and innovation, between the precision of gesture and the boldness of flavour, our purpose is to make every cup a moment of joy, connection, and discovery.

A family of tea lovers

Thés & Traditions is a team of seven people who share the same passion: bringing exceptional teas to everyone, with simplicity, curiosity, and a great deal of heart. We share, exchange, taste, and learn, always guided by pleasure, connection, and a deep love of tea.
