Since 1854 Hédiard 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. The English Blend uses 40% Ceylon tea with 10% India tea and 50% China tea. Hediard English Tea Blend is traditionally served hot with or without milk.

Each tin contains approximately 4.4 ounces net weight of Hediard English Blend (Mélange Anglais) Loose Leaf Tea from France.
