Black Orchid Tea by Mariage Frères
Vanilla-Scented Black Tea with a Hint of Warm Spices
Tea type: Black
Flavor: Black Orchid tea is a well-rounded black tea with subtle aromas of vanilla and a delicate touch of spice.
Drink this tea with: The touch of spice in this French tea pairs perfectly with a ricciarelli cookie (or two or three) and a good book.
Cooking with tea: Throw a sachet of loose leaf tea into the pot when you are making your favorite jam. The delicate vanilla notes play perfectly with ripe, juicy stone fruit.
Words from Mariage Frères tea house: “Smooth black tea, round and silky, dotted with notes of vanilla.”
Gave a review for another tea I was drinking, Montagne d’or, in the Orchid Review and need to restate. This Black Orchid tea gives flavors of vanilla and spices and not fruity. Montagne d’or has the vanilla flavor with a fruity taste. Both are very good teas I love.
Mariage Freres is my absolute favorite tea. I took advice from another reviewer and mix the French Breakfast with the Wedding Imperial and that was my favorite until I tried the Black Orchid - NEW favorite.
I had some vanilla tea my mother brought back from Tahiti and loved it. I could never find anything else that was as good until now. Black Orchid Tea is even better that the other. Love the taste, the smell, everything!
This tea has a wonderful aroma and very smooth taste. Can't go wrong with any of the Marriage Freres teas, but this is one of my favorites. Great to drink in the afternoon or evening just to relax.
This beautiful tea is a tradition for my afternoon tea ritual.
The tin is lovely and fondly reminds me pf many summers spent in Provence.
My grandmother's heirloom teapot brought from Yugoslavia.
Inhaling the first fragrant sip is pure delight.
