Tasting evening of exceptional teas

Thursday 10th October 2019 - 06:00 PM to 09:00 PM

The House of Grauer invites you to a tasting evening of exceptional teas in partnership with Betjeman & Barton Carouge.

 

It was Arthur Betjeman, a relative of Sir John Betjeman, a well-known poet in England, who, after studying the art of tea in Dublin and London, opened "The English Tea House" in Paris.

 

Soon in partnership with Percy Barton, he gave birth to Betjeman & Barton. Even if they had brought to Paris a certain English art of tea, the two gentlemen had to deal with the inevitable influence of the French taste.

 

This was how the right balance was developed: between a purist, distinguished and somewhat haughty English conception of tea and the liberty of French taste, that curiosity of flavors with a bit of imagination.

 

Today there are more than twenty Betjeman & Barton shops around the world, existing for a pure satisfaction of those who are passionate about tea.

 

Betjeman & Barton boutique in Carouge is one of them, with Véronique Gallais as a chief conductor, as it pioneered presenting the Grand Crus in tea tasting, just like with wine tasting.

 

Actually, Veronique’s passion for tea has been lasting for over 25 years. As a result, she has already written two books on this subject. What is more, Ms. Gallais explores singular and very successful tea pairings, like pairing tea with cheese or gastronomy.

 

Following this gustatory path, this tea aficionado initiated tea and cigar pairing in Geneva back in 2017.

 

After a success of the first edition, we invite you to live this unique tasting experience.
