Bright black tea, sparkling citrus notes
The City of Paris and Mariage Frères have come together to create three prestigious gourmet teas, infused with charm and poetry, for the morning, afternoon and evening.
Morning after morning, Paris whispers in our ears as the dawn breaks over the rooftops, where wondrous surprises await.
‘Parisian Morning’ – Matin Parisien is an unexpected encounter between a black tea with beautiful, whole leaves accompanied by golden buds – which give it body and fullness – and a hint of green tea enriched with citrus fruits that release zesty notes of orange and mandarin jam. It has the taste and feel of breakfast on the terrace: free-spirited and gourmet, ideal for watching the city come to life.

So I spent like hours in the Mariage Freres store in Paris. I think I smelled every tea, twice. And trust me, they have LOTS of teas. This one really struck me. It was definitely the bright citrus notes in the scent that caught me.
I was a little worried because when I opened the tin there was green tea in there. The tin and the box only list black tea. But reading the description I found on the MF website, it now makes sense, there is actually some green tea in the blend.
This tea is very decadent. The black tea base is very light, but it is thick. A lot of creamy flavour as well as texture to the tea. It is very smooth. The citrus flavours are actually quite light as compared to the smell but they are very definitive, which I think is what the “sparkling” means. There is a slight flavour profile of sencha, which I assume is coming from the green tea.
This tea reminds me of of very strong black tea, diluted with milk. Like a perfect lazy breakfast tea.
Definitely another one of my fav teas that I bought. However, I have only tried two so far… 2 for 2!
this feels like it would be similar and yet different to paris breakfast.
I don’t think I have ever tried paris breakfast but the descriptions do seem very, very similar. I would say I don’t get any creamiscle or chocolate flavours in this one though.
sounds like you had a fun trip :)
I had a great trip! (Don’t want to brag or anything, but I had an awesome time).
Did you get Kabuki? I love that one.
No I did not :)
Brag away! I’m excited to see your tea notes. :)
