Our Namesake

Joséphine

Born Marie-Josèphe-Rose Tascher de La Pagerie on Martinique in 1763, she outlived a prison cell in the Terror to be crowned Empress of the French in 1804. Grace, taste and hospitality were her true influence; at the Château de Malmaison she gathered one of the most celebrated rose collections of her age.

Born: Martinique, 1763
Crowned: Notre-Dame, 1804
Her garden: Malmaison

Her roses climb across every bag we roast, and our signature Malmaison Roast takes its name from her garden.
