Les 2 Marmottes is a French brand with a rich 42-year history, producing and marketing a range of 28 herbal teas and 8 teas with a strong focus on quality, well-being, and naturalness.

 

Offer

As a historic brand of herbal infusions, mastering the entire value chain from sourcing to commercialization, Les 2 Marmottes has developed strong expertise in plants, allowing it to offer products of superior quality compared to the market (traceability and taste quality of blends made entirely of plants without food flavoring).

Attention to packaging has allowed Les 2 Marmottes to differentiate itself through original and offbeat communication, completely redesigned in 2014, enabling the company to experience strong growth since then.

Testimonial

I chose FrenchFood Capital to accompany Les 2 Marmottes in our ambition to grow in France and internationally.

To meet the expectations of our customers and to preserve the quality of our products, I have chosen growth by relying on a team of entrepreneurs who have clearly understood the DNA of the brand and the company’s development potential. I know they have the skills and the network to help the company I inherited from my parents to accelerate.
