Mauritians love tea.
Come and see why at Teabaz!
Mauritius is passionate about tea. Explore the island and you’ll find rows of emerald-coloured tea bushes cloaking the highlands with grand tea houses, factories and museums waiting to be discovered.
We’ve brought a slice of this tea obsession into all of our hotels with the addition of Teabaz,a self-service tea bar in a homely lounge. It’s a great place to curl up with a brew – and a good book from our library.
Our tea is local!

How do we take our tea?
Mauritians often drink black tea with sugar and a good dose of powdered milk.
Try vanilla tea, which is a Mauritian favourite!

I have always been passionate about plants. So, I decided to study herbal medicine while growing aromatic and medicinal plants in my garden.
After completing training in agroecology, I moved my plantations to an agricultural land. Then, I created my company, specializing in herbal infusions, salts, and elixirs, all offered in recycled packaging.
With Feuilles et Fleurs, we aim to heal the planet and people. We refuse to use individual and non-biodegradable tea bags; instead, we replace them with locally made, reusable, and non-dyed fabrics. We have our own beehives to promote pollination. And we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge of ecology with students and travelers who participate in our guided tours or tea tasting sessions
Deborah Adam & Laura Giselle Marrier d'Unienville
Joseph Marie Corson arrived in Mauritius in 1792. It was only much later, encouraged by his grandson Joseph-Jules, that he began to grow tea on the cool and humid heights of Curepipe. He cultivated Assam black tea and introduced Mauritians to vanilla tea. Passed down from generation to generation, the family business is now led by Déborah and Laura, who carry on the tradition by overseeing each stage of production — withering, grinding, fermentation, sieving, and packaging — to offer exceptional quality tea. Corson Tea Estate now offers a variety of flavors, including the classic vanilla tea and black tea. Also worth tasting are the vanilla-coconut, passionfruit-mango, cardamom, lemon, or caramel-honey flavors!
