Since 1854 Hediard has been a well-known name in Paris, for years the shop has been frequented by many cosmopolitan and noteworthy figures. The flagship store and restaurant are located on Place de Madeleine and the company has grown to oversee distribution to select shops in France and on four continents.

Hediard's tea blends use the whole tea leaf to minimize the powdery residue sometimes left behind from crushed leaves. Ceylon tea is typically strong with a light bitter taste. The Ceylon Breakfast tea is not too strong and can be enjoyed for breakfast with a little bit of milk.

Each tin contains approximately 4.4 ounces net weight of Hediard Ceylon Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea from France.
