Hi, I'm moving to Paris next summer and I would like to get your opinion on
Mariage Frères. Are they as good as they pretend to be ? If so, what are
their best teas ?
Thank you.

Love 'em. I get 'em from my LTS. Both my wife and I are fond of Eros and
Mirabelle. I like their Thé de Fête, and my wife is particularly fond of
Thé Sur Le Nil.

I don't know about the prices in Paris, but the prices at my local tea shop
are pretty good.

It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to

I enjoy Marco Polo vastly more than most flavored teas. However, the
another flavored tea from Mariage Freres, Sakura, which consists of green
tea, flowers and cherry, is like drinking bubble gum saliva. I've
found Mariage Freres to be hit or miss.

My condolences on moving to Paris.

Yes, I think they are as good as they pretend to be. I haven't
tasted all their teas and I don't know which teas you like, so
it would be a hard guess. I'd probably take their Darjeelings from
one end to another if their shop was a bit closer to my home :-)
Actually I bought a couple of hard-to-get-other-places teas which
were interesting, but not interesting enough for me to want to
drink it again :-)

Their Pi-Lo-Chun was quite good, so if I have to recommend just
one tea, then let it be that one.

visit.

I enjoy some of Mariage Freres teas but the teas I find from Le Palais
Des Thes are better-They have a good selection of scented teas as well
as oolongs, greens and darjeelings-
