What Maison laGrange - Infusions Thés Cafés does

Maison laGrange is a French artisanal producer of teas, coffees, and infusions headquartered in Marnay, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The company operates in three core product categories: Infusions (including Rooibos, plant-based blends, and Plants of France), Thés (black, green, white, Oolong, Pu'erh, and Maté/Matcha), and Cafés (specialty and prestige coffees in whole-bean, capsule, pod, and ESE pod formats). Complementary lines include Coffrets (gift sets), Épicerie (gourmet grocery), and Machines & Accessoires. 100% of recipes are blended and packaged in Marnay, France, and every recipe is validated by an internal expert taste committee trained by Michelin-starred chef Romuald Fassenet, sensory expert Friedrich Berndt, winemaker Cyprien Arlaud, and natural wine specialist Christian Gomez. The company also markets an organic/BIO assortment and a Nespresso-compatible capsule line (Le Cinq).

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market. On the consumer side, the company runs its own multi-language e-commerce storefront (French, English, Italian, Spanish, German) serving individual buyers in France with pay-as-you-go unit pricing (€8–50 per SKU) and free relay-point delivery over €30. On the B2B side, a dedicated distributor portal (maison-lagrange-distributeurs.com) supplies delicatessens, specialist shops, hotels, restaurants (CHR), and brands, with the wholesale program described as active since 1996. Marketing is concentrated in content (blog), an email newsletter with discount incentives, and organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), supplemented by seasonal promo codes (THE30 for International Tea Day, VRACFRIDAY2025). Pricing is per-unit with no disclosed subscription tier beyond newsletter sign-up.

The company is privately held with no external funding, parent, or subsidiary relationships on record, and is operated by Barbara Bessot, who holds an Executive MBA from EDHEC and trained in tea cultivation across France, Germany, China, Japan, and India. Operating geographies are listed as France within Europe. No AI/ML capabilities, public financial disclosures, or notable enterprise customers are documented in the available data.
