OUR STORY

Le Tê is a premium Franco-Taiwanese brand founded in 2023, offering Taiwanese bubble tea as its forefront product, in an innovative French “salon de thé" experience.

The meaning behind the name “Le Tê” is inspired by the coincidence in which the Taiwanese word for tea, “tê”, is similar to the French word for tea, “thé”. We chose this name for our brand with the idea of celebrating the harmony of both cultures together.

Le Tê’s first location is in the beautiful 1st arrondissement of Paris, bringing its unique blends of flavors to you in our wide variety of quality teas and sweet “gourmandises”.

OUR TEAM

A Taiwanese born in Taipei, Hsuan-Hsuan was inspired by Parisian culture as a leading capital in the hospitality industry. Her International Food & Beverage Management studies at ESCP Business School coupled with her experience working the drinks industry motivated her to share the rich culture of her home with the rest of the world.

Le Tê is a Franco-Taiwanese fusion brand that combines Taiwan’s unique flavors and France's high quality ingredients and elegant art-de-vivre. The passionate staff at Le Tê are committed to serve you the most premium Taiwanese bubble tea experience in a French afternoon tea concept, while both preserving and modernizing Taiwanese tea culture.

Le Tê looks forward to welcoming you!

OUR VALUES

QUALITY

The quality of all our ingredients is the first core value of Le Tê. We believe that using high-quality tea will resonate with the palettes of our customers. We are proud to propose a menu with exquisite Taiwanese teas such as High Mountain oolong tea or Sun Moon Lake black tea.

Our dedication is not only seen in ingredients we consume but also in other areas such as our packaging. We believe in reducing plastic waste, which is why we use biodegradable packaging for our products. For example, our straws for our drinks to-go are made from wheat.

ELEGANCE

The social connotations surrounding Parisian cafes and salons de thé culture strongly present within the French hospitality industry, truly inspired us to create our much-loved signature afternoon tea.

Our dedication to creating a premium experience can be seen throughout our salon de thé, from our central Parisian location and elegant decor, to our high quality ingredients in everything we serve.

CULTURE

We aim to preserve and respect the quality and tradition of Taiwanese tea culture while incorporating an innovative approach to the experience of enjoying tea.

As bubble tea is an innovative creation in itself originating from Taiwan, we strongly value the conviviality this versatile beverage has created, leading to its exponential growth in popularity throughout the world. We serve our own carefully selected tea blends to share the rich Taiwanese culture we treasure at Le Tê.
