Mariage Frères Noël Imperial is an aromatic blue tea. It’s part of a collection of festive  Christmas teas designed to be sipped during the winter months.

‘Blue tea’ is another name for oolong. It’s made from the youngest tea leaves, picked early in the morning. ‘Blue’ refers to the blue-green colour of the leaves during the oxidation process.

Noël Imperial has a smooth, rich flavour that is characteristic of blue tea. It opens with fruity notes and gives way to subtle spice. Bergamot adds a burst of fresh citrus. Pair this fragrant tea with gingerbread or panettone.

The tea is presented in a blue striped canister with gold accents. It’s ideal for festive gifting.

For best results, steep the tea in 95°C water for five minutes.

Mariage Frères imports luxury tea from around the world. There is a wide range of flavours and varieties to choose from. Find something new for your collection or buy some for a friend who loves a brew.

Store in a cool, dry place.
