Three iconic compositions, three tea families: the Coffret Chefs d’Œuvre brings together an oolong, a black tea and a green tea from Mariage Frères, each in its 100 g tin. In a single object, it is a panorama of the house’s scented teas.

Flower Moon is the oolong of the trio: an oolong scented with pearly almonds and touched with gentle spices, whose golden liquor has the velvety roundness typical of semi-oxidised leaves. Esprit de Noël is the black tea: a festive blend with gentle spices, designed for winter but enjoyed all year round. Vert Provence, finally, is the green tea: soft and fruity, scented with rose and lavender, in the spirit of southern French gardens.

The three teas complement one another by their moment. The spiced black suits the morning and teatime, the floral green the day, the almond oolong the afternoon and evening. The detailed composition and allergens of each tea appear on the tins; the scents of almond and nuts call for the attention of those concerned.

It is a set to give to someone who loves scented teas without a fixed preference, or to keep at home to vary according to the time of day. The three metal tins protect the leaf from light and odours.

Each tea is prepared according to the instructions on its tin: generally, 2.5 to 3 g per 200 ml of water at 95 °C and a few minutes of steeping. The Coffret Chefs d’Œuvre is offered in our shops in Bordeaux and Nice, official stockist of Mariage Frères since 1999.
