Kusmi White tea – Alain Ducasse

by Abdon FLORES

You’ve probably never heard of Pavel Kousmichoff, and if you actually have then it’s pretty sure that you’re a tea lover. Well, 150 years ago, Mr. Kousmichoff decided to open a tea house in Saint Petersburg; it was 1867 and the business was called Kusmi, a short form of his last name. Thirteen years later, his tea was so reputed that even the tsars adored it. Such was the beginning of today’s so popular Kusmi tea which is celebrating its 150th anniversary.

To commemorate such occasion, Alain Ducasse and Kusmi Tea come together to create a unique new recipe. Kusmi Tea’s very first white tea, made special by the expertise and commitment to French gastronomic excellence that Alain Ducasse exemplifies. The tea is presented in a unique modern and elegant white box (4.30 Oz) or in a gift set. This brand new recipe incorporates notes of raspberry and rose, resulting in a delicious and sophisticated taste.
