L'EPICIER - WORLD TEA COMPANY FROM JAPAN

L’EPICIER, located in the city centre and in the inner suburb South Yarra, provides Melbournians with high quality tea and tea wares from all over the world. With 200 different varieties of tea direct from plantations, you are sure to be drawn back to L'EPICIER. The extensive range includes black, classical, herbal, green, Chinese, Japanese and flavoured teas to fulfill almost every need. It goes without saying, L'EPICIER has the largest range of Japanese tea in Australia.

The French name "L'EPICIER" comes from the company President's days when Masaki Mizuguchi studied in a French university. The original plan was to open gourmet food shops in Japan (hence L'EPICIER - "The Grocer" in French), but his working knowledge of tea lead to the business being based around tea. This decision was clearly a good one with over 80 L'EPICIER boutiques now open in Japan.

Today in L'EPICIER you can clearly see the connection with gourmet food as you sit down and enjoy their range of cakes while extending your knowledge of tea. You can make your tea selection at the counter by smelling the tea from special containers. Tea start from as little as $5.50 (50g).

L'EPICIER compliments their extensive range of teas with a fabulous range of teapots, cups and accessories. These include both modern Japanese and traditional Japanese style teapots. These make ideal gifts for friends or relatives, but there is no harm in spoiling yourself.

L'EPICIER is open 7days, 10am - 6pm.
