About us

To some, tea might seem synonymous with all things outdated and stodgy. However, for us, the world of tea is vibrantly diverse and bursting with potential. We believe that tea is more than a beverage; it's a way of life, a luxurious indulgence. That’s exactly why à l'essai was born — two young dreamer eager to shatter those negative label and decided to launch a brand new tea brand.

"à l'essai" means "in the midst of experimentation" in French. It symbolizes our passion for and dedication to exploring tea, embodying the bold spirit of our brand. We aim to break the mold by infusing our teas with a minimalist style, making them as chic as coffee or perfume.

This ensures not only minimal environmental impact from our teas but also respects the producers, providing consumers with a high-quality tea experience.
