    Tea ceremony: Mariage Freres Paris Breakfast Tea

    May 31, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula

    [ Tea ceremony: Mariage Freres Paris Breakfast Tea ] Our tea of today is a breakfast blend from none other than Mariage Freres. Every tea lover know and perhaps dream to buy tea blended by them. I came to know of them through my tea lover brother. I googled and of course I too fell in love with their diversity and products. Mariage Freres has a long history of tea merchandising.

    Tea Ceremony: Hibiscus tea and green tea fusion ! It is time for tea. I don’t know about you but I wait all week for Friday. These days I wait for weekend, for more than one reason. Of course one is, it is my only day off in the entire week. Another is for the tea ceremony. I love the time I spend on Friday morning with my brother making tea. My brother aka tea connoisseur Mishael got down around 11 am and we began. Did I tell you that I bought this new whistle kettle only for our tea…
