The nunshen shop and atelier opens its doors at 87 rue Lemercier, Paris 17th

Much more than a shop: a living place where you taste, learn and share the art of tea.

When tea meets gastronomy

Tea takes its seat at the table.

A fine tea manufacture, nunshen selects its leaves at the source and composes exceptional blends, conceived as a true signature of taste.

Our standards are those of the finest tables: our teas now accompany haute-cuisine restaurants and hotel houses. It is this same know-how that we invite you to discover in the shop.

They trust us

Personalised advice

Our advisers guide you according to your tastes, your moments and your wishes, to find the tea that suits you.

Tasting on site

Taste before you choose. Every visit is an opportunity to discover an infusion prepared by the rules of the art.

Olfactory journey

Let your nose guide you: explore our aromatic families and learn to recognise the notes of each tea.

Our teas

Five families, a thousand nuances.

From the most delicate to the deepest, our teas fall into five great families, each with its colour, its character and its aromas.

White teas

Delicate and silky, with great aromatic finesse.

Green teas

Fresh and vegetal, lively and thirst-quenching.

Blue teas

Oolongs, between floral roundness and roasted notes.

Black teas

Full-bodied and warm, deep and indulgent.

Dark teas

Aged and woody, of rare complexity.

Responsible sourcing

Direct sourcing from our 37 partner gardens, with full traceability and fair trading practices. FSC/PEFC-certified cardboard packaging. Hand-sewn biodegradable cotton muslins, tested by Eurofins, and several references offered in Ecocert-certified 100% biodegradable muslin.

As a family

Tea is passed on, at any age.

Taste is cultivated from the youngest age. nunshen offers a range specially designed for children: gentle, natural, caffeine-free infusions to enjoy together.

Throughout the year, regular events make the shop a place of sharing. Come as a family and discover tea as a moment of togetherness.

Our formats

Tea, your way.

Loose leaf

For purists. The whole leaf unfurls freely and reveals all its aromatic richness.

Muslin sachets

Convenience without compromise. A refined sachet that lets the leaf breathe, wherever you are.

Tins

Elegance that keeps and gives. Our tins protect the tea and dress your shelves as well as your gifts.

Bespoke

Carine Baudry, the nose and trainer of Maison nunshen

Creation and sourcing are led by Carine Baudry. An ISIPCA graduate and sensory-analysis specialist, she has devoted twenty years to understanding the taste, aromas and terroirs of tea.

President of the AVPA tea jury, trainer and speaker, she works with producers, sommeliers and gastronomy professionals in France and abroad. Our workshops and training courses, brought together under La QuintEssence, are built on her work and her teaching.

Our team

Behind every nunshen tea is a passionate team: sourcing, creation, atelier, logistics and advice work hand in hand to bring you the best of the leaf.

In the shop as with professionals, we share the same standards and the same pleasure in passing on.
