There are those special occasions that mean more than a celebration of the people you get to share the experience with. A gathering of dear friends, old acquaintances, cherished family members or significant loves in your life, that solidifies the bond in the relationship. Like-minded companions coming together,
savoring a moment of pure decadence, that will be harnessed in your hearts and forever saved in the memory banks.
Sage words were once uttered by a Chinese emperor, who after reclining around the trunk of a tree, preparing to take his first sip from a vessel of warmed water, caught sight of a leaf, brewing its essence into the liquid. Curious to discover its taste, the emperor began to consume what we believe to be, the very first cup of tea. Having savored the flavor and quenched his thirst, the emperor declared that such a moment of joy would’ve been better if shared. Indeed, fewer things bring about more moments of bliss, than the perfect pot of tea. A tradition that has over time become a culture of communion. Pandering to our palates and appetites with the simplicity of a hot brew, accompanied by some hot bakes. It’s who we get to share the moment with, that elevates the experience to something even more sentimental.
In honoring the age-old tradition of fine tea and all of the decadence that comes with it, Labotessa has embarked upon a unique voyage, that summons the senses, and brings sentimentality to the table. Discovering a world of timeless elegance, where our Diptyque scents are accompanied by an exquisite TWG high tea. An
