I ordered it with question in my mind, but I am really liking it a whole lot.....but not nearly as much as Marco Polo!!!!
If you love French Bleu blend, you will love this blend too . Just a little more robust, but not to the extent of Earl Grey Imperial .
This is my favorite tea and Mariage Freres is my favorite tea brand so…Market Hall Foods is my favorite online supplier! Hard to find it in the US and certainly less expensive than my pre-pandemic annual trips to Paris!
For lovers of an elegant, well blended citrus w/a truly alluring perfume note, this tea is in a class by itself. Though we must have 50 teas in our pantry, this is what we NEVER get tired of, and always relish sipping. It's worth taking a bit of extra time to really experience all the subtle notes, and in addition to lovely by itself, it does indeed pair so well with food too.
It's hard deciding which Mariage Tea is my favorite -- they're all exceptional. I decided to try the Ruschka tea --- again another wonderful tea that does not disappoint in delivering flavor. It's a full bodied, but 'light' tea -- the flavor is really good. A wonderful choice for either morning or late afternoon.
