LGB was formed with the Bernardaud family of Limoges, France.
Bernardaud
Bernardaud crafts the
finest Limoges porcelain in the world and has been doing
so since 1863. Today, the Bernardaud Family continues
the tradition of design leadership and quality craftsmanship
with every Bernardaud product, which is cast fired and
decorated in Limoges, France.
LGB
LGB was created to bring
the best of Parisian tea salons to the world's discerning
customers. There is a strong desire among many metropolitan cities for
the delights of the authentic Parisian tea salon offerings
such as the famous
Macarons, gourmet French teas, authentic artisan French
chocolates, special open faced sandwiches known as Tartines,
among other staples of these famed eateries. No detail
has been overlooked in creating the salon, as renowned
French culinary experts from Paris were commissioned to
oversee the creation of these authentic products.
LGB was the pioneer in Hong Kong in introducing to the city the delightful Parisian Macaron.
These delicate pastries, famous in Paris since the early
1900's, are unique in their delicate texture, beautiful
colors and form, and exquisite flavors, making them the
perfect treat to enjoy with a cup of tea, or hot chocolate.
LGB presents an unprecedented collection
of over a dozen distinctive flavors such as "Rose", "Bitter
Chocolate", and "Coffee with Salted Caramel". Due to
the special knowledge required in creating this fragile
pastry, the authentic Parisian Macaron has not previously
been available outside of Paris, New York and Tokyo until
now.
LGB has also created a selection
of gourmet
French teas, flown in from France to satisfy
any discerning palate. The exclusive range of 22 teas
encompass the traditional range as well as flavored
and blended teas such as "Earl
Grey", "Green Garden", and "Alsatian Christmas" blend,
providing the right beverage for any mood or occasion.
Visitors to the tea salon can try the various aromas before
deciding on the right one to enjoy. In the summer, one
can enjoy the flowery light green teas like the "4 Citrus
blend" comprising lime, sweet orange, tangerine and pinapple;
whereas for the winter the more flavorful black teas such
as "Christmas in Prague" comprising caramel, cocoa, plum,
Clementine essential oils and mallow flowers, would satisfy
the palate.
The French artisan chocolate collection
encompasses 30 unique flavors. These premium chocolates,
hand made in small quantities and flown to Hong Kong
from Paris, are created with the choicest fresh ingredients,
frequently reflecting seasonal specialties in France,
and are available exclusively at LGB.
Salons and Kiosks
Along with a range of exclusive gourmet food, LGB salons offers the luxurious respite befitting
sophisticated consumers found in major metropolitan cities.
A unique offering at the tea salon, again for the first
time in Hong Kong, is the much loved Parisian Poiläne bread-based Tartines. This bread carries the unique flavor and characteristic
possible only from this famed Parisian baker. The Poiläne
loaf, renowned since 1932, is a dense sourdough loaf handmade
with stoneground whole wheat flour. This loaf is then thin
cut and made into a variety of delicious French open-faced
sandwiches otherwise known as Tartines Poiläne, served
with a variety of toppings from wild honey and French butter,
to gourmet toppings like foie gras, goose liver päté, and
smoked salmon. A perennial favorite among Parisians, these
premium Tartines are enjoyed for breakfast as well as meals
throughout the day.
LGB products can also be enjoyed at LGB
kiosks. These smaller outlets offer the busy executive,
casual shopper and mobile worker choices for gourmet on
the go, from a selection of fresh handmade gourmet sandwiches,
fresh pastries, to liquid Valrhona Grand Cru chocolate
drinks and gourmet coffee drinks.
