Forager story
In the middle of the 17th century, Louis XIV and the French East India Company sponsored the exploration of distant lands in the search of exotic goods and spices. The tea trade soon flourished. Nicolas and Pierre Mariage were at the forefront—the Mariage brothers travelled to Madagascar and Persia, where they signed a trade agreement with the Shah. They brought home fragrant, gorgeous teas never before seen in Europe. Tea became the thriving family business.
By 1843, when the Mariages opened their first shop in Paris, they had generations of experience and knowledge, and continued to import the finest teas from around the world. Today, tourists flock to their historic teashop in the Marais, which is a feast for the senses. Mariage Frères blends the highest quality green teas from Japan, white teas from China, First Flush Darjeelings, and more. The Mariage family has elevated tea to art, and savoring one of their signature blends is a true delight.
Mariage Frères presents their teas in gorgeous tins. Together, we’ve crafted a balanced, lovely signature Mariage Frères DEAN & DELUCA blend, a rich black tea with subtle notes of citrus. Their Marco Polo, aromatic black tea infused with Chinese and Tibetan fruits and flowers, is a wonderful afternoon pick-up, and Rouge Bourbon Vanille Tea is perfect for savoring with a flaky pastry. We hope you’ll try them all.

Comments about Mariage Frères Éros Tea:
I was first introduced to this tea 3 years ago when I friend brought some back from Paris,France.I fell in love with this fragrant and very soothing tea. A coworker and I did some research and we decided it was the purple malva flowers that had very relaxing powers. I sent some to my sister, and now it is her favorite as well.

Comments about Mariage Frères Éros Tea:
I discovered this tea when we visited a friend in Normandy, France in 2000. The aroma and smooth body of this tea provide a sence of peace and relaxation. The perfect blend of black tea and lavender allow you to drink anytime without the concern of cafeine that might interrupt your sleep pattern. This tea is perfect for all occasions.

Comments about Mariage Frères Éros Tea:
I bought this tea for my husband who is a tea enthusiast. He experiments with mixing this tea with other Mariage Frere such as Bourbon vanilla and Souchoung. What an amazing combination. The Eros has a special taste unlike any we've had so far.
