Marc’s Story: A Journey Through Aromas and Cultures
Born in Ottawa, Canada, Marc cultivated his passion for tea by exploring the lands where this extraordinary beverage originates. His travels took him through the plantations of China, India, Japan, and Thailand, where he met expert growers and learned the secrets of tea leaf processing.
With a desire to share this knowledge, Marc moved to Switzerland and opened La Casa del Tè, a shop that is not just a retail space but a meeting place for those who love tea in all its forms.
Since 2018, the shop has become a destination for those seeking quality, authenticity, and expert advice.
