French Tea Culture

Teatrition Facts:
Although the French are well known for their coffee, tea is still a popular beverage in France. Tea is sometimes used as a beverage consumed after meals to focus on digestion and settle the stomach. Black teas like Earl Grey are consumed in France with breakfast or with some pastries. Some of these black teas may even be served as a fruit blend. Herbal beverages made from verbena and tilleul are also popular because they aid in digestion but are caffeine free. 

If you are in the mood for a tea with layers of flavor, try a French tea from a company like Mariage Frères.
