New Mariage Frères tea flavors

Spring is just around the corner and so are the new Mariage Frères tea flavors! I went to one of their beautiful stores in Paris to get a pre-taste of their new Easter flavors and I promise you they are good! Discover them with me here…

The new Mariage Frères tea “Sakura” is a composition of organic green tea with a divine fragrance of Japanese cherry flowers. Inspired by the Japanese tradition of celebrating Spring and the cherry blossom. A celebration of nature and the appreciation of the short time the trees are in bloom. The result is a nice soft tea made of fine green leaves.

Preparation:  put 3 grams of the tea in 20 cl 85 degrees water. Let it infuse for 4 minutes.

To stay in the theme Mariage Frères have created a delicious green cake to fit the tea.

A reminder of the beautiful Japanese gardens and the pink flowers from the cherry trees (made in a delicious white chocolate). A perfect combination with the Sakura tea.

Despite its candy look, the cake is neither too sweet nor heavy. The taste of cherry, almond and green Matcha tea constitute a perfect harmony. Very fresh and soft.
