Lorient: Discover and taste the Breton Tea Ritual – Brittany, France

EXPERIENCE

FROM FIELDS TO CUP

Already in 1839, Antoine Guillemin, botanist at the natural history museum, noted that Brittany had strong potential for the cultivation of camellia sinensis due to its humid climate. In 2005, Michel Thévot restored the Kérouzéré mill, in Sibril, northern Finistère, and created a botanical garden with more than 2000 species. Michel meets Émile, an expert in tea blending, they create a Breton tea together.
3000 tea plants are now grown on this site.
