Description: Each one of our tea houses offer a unique environment that combines prestige, raffinement and tradition. They present a tea-tasting salon that allows you to apreciate the best flushes, harvests and tea blends from 12:00 to 19:30. The flushes from the most prestigious tea gardens are steeped behind an old oak bar, a true tea preparation counter. The Mariage Freres' golden rules, are applied and harshly used, for the enchantment of the lovers of the most refined and precious tea. The control of water temperature and steeping time length are compulsory for a successful tea preparation. In order to preserve the tea flavors and scents, a purified water is used. The leaves are taken off the teapot before tea is served. The epicures can also discovert our original preparations baked with tea: the French Art of Tea is for the most part an "art de la table", displayed in the "Cuisine au The" (Cooking with Tea) prepared everyday by our chefs in main courses and deserts. Next to the tea counters, the tea salons, decorated with ancient furniture, set a peaceful path where tea lovers and gourmets can meet up with salty flavours and sweet temptations.

I love tea, and to find Mariage Freres around the corner from my hotel was such a treat. We had lunch there one day with their very special champagne cocktail. And we bought both tea bags and loose tea to take home. An extremely knowledgeable and courteous staff - I can't wait for a return trip to stock up on more tea! And perhaps to sample a full afternoon tea - delicious cakes!

This is such a classy and yet cozy tea shop and store. We had some tea late one afternoon along with a whimsical lemon meringue. It was so fun having tea in this refined setting, and browsing all the different teas and items in the shop is fun.

Totally unexpected! Here you can drink Tea obviously, but more important it is a great tea store with a good selection and very nicely dressed staff to help you. They also have a small tea museum. This is place is worth a small detour!
