Marco Polo Tea Tin

Marco Polo black tea is the iconic fragrance of sumptuous fruits and flowers from China and Tibet. Considered the ‘haute couture’ of tea, Mariage Frères is without a doubt the world’s most exclusive merchant for luxury tea. France’s oldest house of teas was originally founded in 1854 in Paris as a tea and vanilla import firm that supplied prestigious hotels, salons and stores with distinctive teas from China, India and Ceylon. Over the next century, multi-generations of the Mariage family transformed the business into a highly respected tea retailer. Today, Mariage Frères has expanded to nine teahouses — five in Paris and four in Japan — and now creates distinctive tea ware, tea-scented candles and gourmet recipes that use tea as an ingredient. Loose leaf tea. 3 1/2" diam. x 4"H; 3.5 oz. Made in France.
