In a refined expression of French hospitality and sensory luxury, Maison Gabrielle has created an exclusive collection in collaboration with Hôtel Martinez Cannes, one of the Côte d’Azur’s most celebrated five-star palace hotels and a legendary destination during the annual Cannes Film Festival. Beginning May 1, guests of the Hôtel Martinez will be introduced to two bespoke creations developed exclusively for the property: Plume de Vanille, a signature black tea blend, and a custom-crafted Herbes de Provence—both made and packaged in France.
Created to embody the elegance, warmth, and effortless sophistication of the French Riviera, Plume de Vanille is a refined black tea enriched with real vanilla bean husks, where elegant flavor meets delicate softness in seamless harmony. A subtle note of golden sweetness gently rounds the composition, enhancing its warmth and depth, while its smooth, lingering finish makes it an ideal companion for moments of calm and quiet indulgence. This distinguished infusion captures timeless grace in every season, offering guests a sensory escape inspired by the art of slow living along the Mediterranean coast.
Complementing the tea is Maison Gabrielle’s exclusive Herbes de Provence blend, thoughtfully composed to reflect the sun-drenched landscapes, aromatic gardens, and rich culinary heritage of the South of France. Crafted in the tradition of classic Provençal seasoning, this bespoke blend is built around a carefully balanced selection of traditional herbs used in Southern French cooking, offering depth, warmth, and aromatic clarity. Designed to capture the essence of rustic yet refined cuisine, it enhances everything from roasted vegetables and grilled meats to olive oil dressings and slow-simmered dishes, bringing an authentic taste of Provence to the table while honoring the simplicity and elegance of the region’s culinary heritage.
As part of this elevated guest experience, individually wrapped tea sachets of Plume de Vanille will be offered as luxurious in-room amenities throughout the hotel, thoughtfully enhancing the ritual of arrival, relaxation, and retreat with a refined sensory touch unique to the Hôtel Martinez experience. In addition, Maison Gabrielle’s signature épicerie tins—each containing sachets of the bespoke tea—alongside the exclusive Herbes de Provence blend, will be presented to VIP guests and clients as curated hospitality amenities, while also being integrated into tailored in-room service offerings. Both blends have been created exclusively for the Hôtel Martinez Cannes and will only be available within the property.
Every blend is meticulously crafted, blended, and packaged in France, reflecting Maison Gabrielle’s unwavering commitment to authentic French savoir-faire, artisanal excellence, and elevated design. Each creation is presented in the house’s iconic signature packaging, where timeless aesthetics meet refined craftsmanship.

I stayed here this week and had your vanilla tea! oh its so delicious. I came to your website to see where to buy it but I can’t find it. I’d like to buy it. Can you send me a link, please? It was the best vanilla tea I have ever had and I forgot to ask the hotel before I left if I can buy it there.
