The Pain d'Épices au Thé Noël is an artisan gingerbread signed Mariage Frères, flavoured with tea and cinnamon. Its crumb is based on rye flour, sweetened with glucose, fructose and candied sugar, with a touch of caramel. It is a seasonal creation, weighing around 440 g, designed for festive tables.

What does it contain?

• Glucose, fructose, rye flour, candied sugar, tea, yeast, wheat starch, caramel, cinnamon.
• It contains gluten (rye, wheat starch) and may contain traces of tree nuts.

How should you enjoy it?

Cut it into slices, then toast them lightly if you like a warm crumb. It is best enjoyed plain, buttered or spread with a tea jelly: the Gelée de Thé · Noël keeps to the same festive spirit. To accompany it, a cup of spiced black tea such as Esprit de Noël extends the cinnamon notes.
