museum visit + lunch. Mariage Freres tea house @ the Lourve, Paris.
mariage freres, maison de the, is one of my favorite tea companies. i love their blends.. not to mention their beautiful packaging.
i had their marco polo tea. we drink this at home regularly. my other favorite blends from MF: Earl grey french blue, and Golden monkey king. the Opium Hill Oolong and Tie Kuan Ying are considerably good.. though I usually prefer to buy asian teas from asian tea makers..
tomato gazpacho with smoked tuna. theres a toast under the tuna, sitting in the soup.
“um.. omg” was our reaction when this smoked salmon sandwich was brought to our table. made with green tea bread and a window of fresh Ikura (salmon roe) on top.. it was sO delicious and well presented. this sandwich far exceeded any expectations.
this was b’s pick from the dessert counter. kind of a creme brulee with fresh strawberries tart. it was, “wow.”
there’s a few mariage freres tea salon locations, i picked the one at the lourve because it was convenient to our schedule. if you’re in paris, its def worth a visit for lunch or afternoon tea!
