The Advent Calendar: a royal jewel case
The “Noël Royal” Christmas calendar is the centerpiece of this collection. Its royal blue design, illuminated in gold and silver, houses 25 silver boxes, each containing a fragrant surprise to be discovered every day until Christmas. With its wide white satin ribbon, it transforms into a box of secrets, perfect for prolonging the magic of the festive season. Each carefully selected tea illustrates Mariage Frères’ commitment to excellence and creativity.
Christmas teas: a sensory voyage
Mariage Frères also offers a range of teas specially designed for the festive season. The “Noël Royal” black tea seduces with its aromas of bergamot and bewitching spices, while the “Noël Princier” green tea enchants with its notes of vanilla and red fruits. Each beautifully decorated bottle makes an ideal gift to slip under the tree.
Tea Yule logs: a gourmet symphony
Mariage Frères pastry chefs have created two logs inspired by their famous teas. The “Noël Royal” log, with black tea, combines the richness of dark chocolate with notes of pomelo and caramelized pecans, offering a perfect balance of gourmandise and freshness. The “Noël Princier” log, flavored with green tea and yuzu, blends a chestnut glacé cream with a Kyoto matcha ganache. These creations, available in their Paris boutiques, are an invitation to savor the festive season with refinement.
