Cha Ling: The Beauty of Tea and Time
Deep in the mountains of Yunnan, China, farmers have been growing Pu’er tea for centuries. This tea is not just a drink—it is a living tradition, carefully aged, rich in antioxidants, and known for its healing powers.
One day, Laurent Boillot, the CEO of Guerlain (LVMH Group), traveled to Yunnan. He met tea farmers who shared a secret: Pu’er tea wasn’t just good for the body—it could transform the skin.
This idea stayed with him. What if luxury skincare could be made from ancient tea wisdom? What if beauty could be pure, sustainable, and deeply meaningful?
In 2016, Cha Ling was born—a brand that blended French skincare science with the power of Chinese Pu’er tea. It wasn’t just about making skin glow; it was about respecting nature, honoring tradition, and creating beauty with purpose.
At first, people doubted. Could tea really be skincare? Could a brand inspired by Chinese heritage stand next to Chanel, La Mer, and Guerlain?
But Cha Ling didn’t give up. Its products were not only luxurious but also eco-friendly, proving that true beauty comes from balance—between East and West, nature and science, past and future.
Today, Cha Ling is more than just a skincare brand. It is a bridge between worlds, a reminder that some of the best secrets take centuries to be discovered.
