Kusmi has long been known for their beautiful tins and now two special ones have gotten a high fashion makeover thanks to Jean Paul Gaultier. The limited edition teas have the couturier’s signature sailor stripes, seaside blue, and rebel tattoos.
Prince Vladamir Tea by Jean Paul Gualtier for Kusmi Tea (Earl Grey, citrus fruits, vanilla, and spices)
Anastasia Tea by Jean Paul Gaultier for Kusmi Tea (black tea, bergamot, lemon, and orange blossom)
The duo were released to commemorate the Jean Paul Gaultier multimedia retrospective at the Grand Palais in Paris (it runs until the end of August). They’re sold in Kusmi Tea stores as well as at the boutique in the Grand Palais and online. So far there are only two but three more are slated for later this year. I’m not sure how the teas were picked, but they’re well-balanced blends that are delicious iced. They come in both bag and loose varieties. Go for the loose and make a batch of iced tea with some lemons, limes, orange slices, and cinnamon sticks…so good! The mix is also a good combo to help curb appetite….you know…speaking of high fashion…
