“Terre de Chine, the best of genuine Chinese tea
Lyne Wang is attached to her Chinese origins and the crafts of her country. So she opened Terre de Chine, a boutique specializing in genuine, high-quality Chinese tea, with a varied selection to suit everyone’s tastes.
The choice of genuine tea for a unique tasting experience
Tea is much more than a drink, it’s a true art of living. Green tea, with its high theine content, is best enjoyed in the morning, while black, red or wulong teas are best enjoyed during the day. Daily consumption is the best way to take full advantage of tea’s virtues. Since 1997, Lyne Wang has been selecting the finest teas from China for a unique taste experience. She brings together the six Chinese tea families in her Parisian boutique Terre de Chine.
Privileged contact with Chinese tea producers
For over 20 years, Lyne Wang has been traveling regularly to China to maintain a close relationship with the families of independent producers. This also enables him to keep an eye on production, so that he can always offer quality tea in his Terre de Chine boutique. Teas that come exclusively from the annual harvest, in limited quantities to guarantee freshness. Optimum storage time is two years, to enjoy all their flavours. With the exception of Pu Er Sheng Cha teas, which improve with age.
A wide choice to delight every palate
Each of the six tea families is made up of numerous varieties of tea, with different flavours. Lyne Wang’s first piece of advice is to taste different teas, excluding yellow and white teas, which are more specific, to discover the taste of real tea and identify your own preferences. On the Terre de Chine online store, teas are categorized by families and varieties, by province of production and by taste preferences, among others. In her Paris boutique, Lyne Wang takes the time to get to know her customers, to understand their daily habits and to offer them the most appropriate quality tea.
Terre de Chine has already supplied renowned establishments such as the Ritz, Crillon and Cheval Blanc. and seduced Anne-Sophie Pic’s palate. The boutique aims to offer its Chinese teas in other hotels and palaces.”
