Who are we?

A SMALL FRENCH BRAND OF HANDMADE TEAS & HERBAL TEAS/INFUSIONS

Magasin de vente de thé et épicerie fine

The FBKT adventure started out with an addiction to tea of course, a love of gastronomy, a taste for travel, a desire to discover the world and to make by hand... mixed with a good dose of daring! There are also epicureans in sneakers who do not recognise themselves in the commercially available brands.

This heralded the beginnings of Fabrikathé, nicknamed FBKT, a young French brand of tea & herbal teas, created in the Loire region in 2016, and offering exclusive traditional recipes inspired by French gastronomy with a high-end, inventive and modern spirit.

Our tea suits all tastes - a tea for you, for him/her, for you, you and you over there, too... provided that you savour our slightly off-beat little world, which dusts down classic tea-time and detaches itself from the often snobbish image passed down from the colonial counters of India.

We wanted to create a premium tea brand on a human, modern scale combining traditional know-how, creativity and delicious flavours.

Located on the Roanne coast, at the foothills of the Massif Central, our workshop - one of the few tea manufacturing workshops ni France - benefits from the magnificent setting of this thermal/wine-growing region.
