Étoile Mystérieuse Black Tea by Mariage Frères

Raspberry-Scented Black Tea from Renowned French Tea House

Tea type: Black

Flavor: This fruity black tea is inspired by the iconic Étoile Mystérieuse dessert—a dome-shaped cheesecake enrobed in a red fruit and tea glaze with French meringue and red raspberry coulis—served in Mariage Frères' Le Marais tea salon in Paris. The tea itself has rich, juicy notes of raspberry and strawberry with a delicate creaminess.

Drink this tea with: Enjoy with a touch of cream alongside a couple French butter cookies and a good book.

Cooking with tea: Substitute for Marco Polo tea in our recipe for Marco Polo Tea Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries.

Words from Mariage Frères: "A true MARIAGE FRÈRES icon, the sumptuous dessert sheathed in a scarlet glaze of red fruits set on a French meringue with a raspberry coulis inspired this delicious black tea, warm with notes of patisserie. Shimmering, and mysteriously gourmand."
