Seduced by Tea

Mariage Frères Eros Tea

Imagine a dazzling bouquet of floral aromas in an elegant black tea. This is Eros, the exquisitely perfumed "black tea for lovers" by Parisian tea blender, Mariage Frères. We can't think of a classier Valentine's Day gift to evoke romance, passion and good taste. Whether loose leaf in their signature gold and black tin, or hand tied in muslin bags, Mariage Frères Eros Tea would elicit a sigh of delight from Cupid himself.
Beyond a romantic cup of tea, the floral fragrance of Eros can be a dramatic ingredient in Valentine's Day menus:

  • Eros Infused Chocolate Mousse - grind Eros tea to a fine powder in a coffee grinder, and combine with melted semisweet chocolate when making chocolate mousse.
  • Eros Honey Syrup - combine equal portions of strong brewed Eros tea and wildflower honey for a floral syrup to enhance fresh fruit, glaze grilled salmon, or compose a beautiful cocktail.
  • Eros Apple Galette - poach apples in Eros tea and arrange on puff pastry shells. Glaze with aforementioned Eros honey syrup, and garnish with candied rose petals.
