Breakfasts from around the world in a gift set: this is the idea behind the Happy Breakfast Gift Set by Mariage Frères, a matte black case with the house logo in tone-on-tone detail, which brings together three black teas created for breakfast, each inspired by a city.

Colombian Breakfast Chai is a black tea blend from Colombia, grown in the heart of the Andes, enriched with cocoa beans, coffee grains and gentle spices. American Breakfast Tea is a malty and flavourful black tea, with a hint of caramelised chocolate, which holds up well to a cloud of cold milk in the New York style. Tokyo Breakfast Tea, finally, combines a black tea with beautiful whole leaves, malty notes of cooked plum, and the rich zestiness of real yuzu. The complete list of ingredients for each tea appears on its tin and on the gift set.

Three mornings, three personalities: spice and cocoa for winter days, malt and caramel for indulgent breakfasts, yuzu for wake-ups when you want freshness. All three are enjoyed plain or with a cloud of milk, and stand up to a full breakfast, from toast to scrambled eggs.

It is a gift that is understood at once, for a lover of morning tea, a new home, a traveller. The tins are independent and stay closed, away from light and odours, while you work through the others.

For preparation, follow the instructions printed on each tin, with freshly boiled water, respecting the infusion time specific to each tea. La Boutique du Thé is the official Mariage Frères stockist since 1999, in its shops in Bordeaux and Nice, where each of the three teas is also offered loose leaf, weighed to order.
