stimulate the senses
atelier of tea reimagined
Welcome to the world of Forgrave, an atelier of tea reimagined. Always inspired, never restrained by tradition, we draw upon the provenance of tea, parfum, and design to create a world of delights that are unapologetically original. Steeping in memory, fragrance, and storytelling, Forgrave reimagines European tea traditions through a modern, multi-sensory lens.
more than a name
semper ad astra
Founded by Catherine Hicks Cosgrove, an ITMA Certified Tea Sommelier and ardent student of art history, each product in our collection is intended to transport us through time, unlocking emotion and anchoring us in moments of calm, creativity, and connection. More than a name, Forgrave is a tribute to a family legacy. Honoring Catherine’s great grandfather, Paul Forgrave, who bestowed the family signet ring inscribed with “semper ad astra” – meaning always to the stars – our brand embodies this spirit of high aspiration.
enduring heritage
design for the senses
Rooted in neoclassical revival, we draw inspiration from art, architecture, and cultural traditions to create the timeless yet contemporary aesthetic found in the meticulously crafted details of our product design and packaging, embossed in France and applied by hand in our studio. Every element is designed to evoke a sense of place, of history, and of beauty, reflecting the enduring heritage passed down through generations.
