Did you know Parisians have been sipping tea since the 17th century—thanks to the Silk Road? 🛣️ Today, that legacy lives on in cozy tea houses where East meets West. Meet Pauline Planque, a French art expert whose recent visit to a 200-year-old Parisian tea spot reveals a delicious blend of history and culture.
In a new video, Pauline samples flavored teas—a local specialty—and dives into how tea evolved from a luxury import to a symbol of leisure and sophistication. 🎨 ‘Tea connects France and China like an invisible thread,’ she says, highlighting how rituals like afternoon tea now fuse French flair with Chinese traditions.
From jasmine-infused blends to creative herbal mixes, tea has become a bridge between generations and continents. ☕🌍 Whether it’s a quiet café moment or a lively gathering, Pauline notes that ‘elegance is universal’—and this centuries-old drink proves it.
