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 Hediard Blend, or Melange Hediard, uses 97.5% Chinese tea with 1% bergamot, 1% lemon and .5% sweet orange oils. Hediard Blend Tea is a very sweet drink, scented with fruit spices and served hot or cold.

Each box of Hediard Blend Tea is imported from France and contains 20 crystal tea bags (approximate net weight 40g).
