Apollo tea & coffee
The New Range
ApolloTea and Coffee
After wine and cocktails, Saint-Louis launches a new tasting range including 3 tumblers to appreciate tea and its subtleties: light, full-bodied or concentrated. With the complicity of Tea sommelier Lydia Gautier, the Apollo collection welcomes a Great tea set for a generous tasting, a Charming tea set for the brew of exceptional teas, as well as an espresso tumbler for the incorrigible coffee addicts. Porcelain and crystal accessories complete both rituals.
The workshops
An ancestralknow-how
An iconic and timeless Saint-Louis collection, Apollo was chosen for its delicate aesthetic. With its Venetian ribs and iconic thistle flower shape, an inspiration that dates to 1913 at Saint-Louis, the Apollo is perfect for tea tasting.
To create the crystal pieces in the Apollo collection, the master glassmaker first captures the imprint of the Venetian stripes in a mold by applying molten crystal and blowing gently. Then comes the creation of the shape of the thistle flower. Blowing this particular shape requires powerful lungs to push the hot crystal against the walls of the mold, thus creating the bulge. This operation demands great dexterity, as the glassmaker must also keep the Venetian ribs straight throughout the process.
