Thé des Lords is an Earl Grey with a strong bergamot flavor, enlivened by safflower petals. Earl Grey has been a great English classic ever since Charles Grey, Earl of Falodon and Foreign Secretary in the mid-19th century, received a recipe for flavoring tea with bergamot from a Chinese mandarin.

Thé du Hammam: One of Palais des Thés' most popular teas. Inspired by a Turkish recipe using green tea, this is a fruity blend evoking the fragrances used to perfume the hammam - roses, green dates, red fruit and orange flower water. Sprinkled with flower petals in the purest of Eastern traditions, the tea's extraordinary fragrance features a subtle combination of Chinese green tea, celebrated for its freshness and thirst-quenching properties, and rich fruit aromas.

Green Mint Tea: A green tea from China flavored with mint leaves, this refreshing, thirst-quenching beverage is the ultimate Moroccan mint tea. In Morocco, and in many other Arab countries, serving mint tea has become part of the rulebook for good living, and represents the most refined expression of hospitality. The tea used is always green tea, usually Gunpowder, which is known for its freshness and thirst-quenching qualities.
