The tea itself has rich, juicy notes of raspberry and strawberry with a delicate creaminess.
Drink this tea with: Enjoy with a touch of cream alongside a couple French butter cookies and a good book.
Cooking with tea: Substitute for Marco Polo tea in our recipe for Marco Polo Tea Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries.
Words from Mariage Frères: "A true MARIAGE FRÈRES icon, the sumptuous dessert sheathed in a scarlet glaze of red fruits set on a French meringue with a raspberry coulis inspired this delicious black tea, warm with notes of patisserie. Shimmering, and mysteriously gourmand."
A lovely cup of a bright black tea with a hint of raspberry. Beautiful golden brew. Wonderful on its own or with a teeny bit of cream & or sweetener of choice.
I didn't care for this tea when hot but loved It when iced. It has a slightly sweet fruity flavor that works perfectly for a cold beverage. The quality and flavor of the black tea is superb as you would expect.
So good with a little cream and sugar!

As I was use to teas without the fruity taste when I first tried this tea I was not impressed but as I tried to keep an open mind and read the flavor, raspberry, I had the tea another morning taking in that flavor and began to love it. I also just love seeing the cute stars in it too. This left me later with a memory of warmth where now I just love it. Happy I found it.
