Who are we ?

The Adventure of a Tea Lover…

The Adventure of a Tea Air is rooted in the passion for tea that grew within me during the first part of my life far from the plantations. Like a tea plant that waits for several years to mature, I also took the time to mature this project of living around tea in order to be ready for this new life.

Tea for everyone…

With the main desire to give everyone access to premium quality teas and herbal teas, I began a long adventure of demanding sourcing, respectful of people and the environment. I was able to discover both admirable and essential players in the world of tea and plants and surround myself with distant and local partners who are now essential. In this project, my sensitivity to ecology led me to want to develop a range of teas that is reasoned, reasonable and as organic as possible, which is expanding over the years. Without forgetting the herbal teas which are just as organic and bring us all their virtues on a daily basis. In the years to come, the regular development of responsible plantations will lead us towards a 100% organic range, or almost. All the scented creations are made with the best quality perfumes and aromas on the market, the most natural possible, with the help of my partners with their essential family know-how.

Let’s get started…

Begun in 2009 with the opening of my first tea counter in the city of Pau, the story quickly took off with success, with a clientele eager for beautiful taste experiences in their cups and who quickly showed their satisfaction and loyalty. For 10 years, I enjoyed sharing, listening and exchanging around tea while developing and bringing to life the brand un air de thé. During this tea route, my sidekick Cédrik, yes with a K, joined me in this adventure and has today taken the reins of our Pau counter. He too has come to appreciate the world of tea with the same passion as me.

We Share…

In 2019, Lesly joined the team and brought new impetus with both her skills and her energy. The desire to continue this tea journey led us to another project, which took on its full meaning in our approach to tea, more focused on tasting. The opening of a second tea counter in Bordeaux and a workshop dedicated to tasting. Many of our customers have shown us that they have a real desire to learn more about tea, to discover it, taste it, and share it. We intend to satisfy them. Currently, we are also preparing the project of a tea school reserved for those who are moving towards the tea professions and would like to train. Thank you… Today we are happy to live our passion, proud to be able to share it with you and eager to continue this endless tea journey…
