It all began in 1919
Betjeman & Barton began with Arthur Betjeman and Percy Barton, two gentlemen with a vision, driven by their desire to introduce their conception of the English art of tea to the Parisians. These two tea experts decided to embark on a new adventure by opening the first shop in the French capital entirely dedicated to tea. This was in 1919 and Betjeman & Barton had just been created...
Inevitably influenced by French taste, Arthur Betjeman and Percy Barton proposed a perfectly balanced blend of cultures and created a unique universe, a meeting place of Parisian chic and British fantasy. Their success was immediate and unprecedented.
