Description

Chai Chandernagor pays tribute to the renowned French trading post in India — the Half Moon City — sited along a tributary of the Ganges in western Bengal, where the fond memories of yesterday blend into the hustle and bustle of the marketplace, the cotton mills and silk factories, and the heady aromas of tea carried by the wind. Here, black tea welcomes a plethora of imperial spices: cloves, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and pepper make for a warming, piquant brew. Mariage Frères, France’s oldest house of teas, was founded in 1854 in Paris as a tea and vanilla import firm that supplied prestigious hotels, salons and stores with distinctive teas from China, India and Ceylon. Since then, multi-generations of the family transformed the business into the world’s most exclusive merchant for luxury tea.
