Black Green Blend by Mariage Frères
A rich blend of green Japan tea and black Ceylon tea, flavoured with rare citrus and other fruits.
Charismatic.
Prince Igor is a Borodine’s Opera and a fantastic tea.
As it is a mixed black and green tea, don’t steep it too much (5 minutes are enough)
you’ll taste a fantastic and sweet taste of vanilla, agrums, red fruits and light sunflowers.
Personnaly I drink this tea in the morning but it may be a better afternoon tea as it is very perfumed and soft.
I’ve always been surprised this tea wasn’t very well known in the Mariage & Frères fabulous card.
I’d love to get your american views about it !
This was a sample Ysaurella so kindly sent me, thanks so much! The joys of receiving great tea in the mail, made my week!
At my first thought when i sipped this was “oh my, Marco Polo and Thé à L´Opéra had a child together! And this is it!”. The red fruits and vanilla, the strong strawberry (?) note, the mixed green and black teas. And I just can not shake that impression from my head.
This is a very lovely tea – a blend of green and black, with vanilla and strawberry and a few things more indeed to make it more mysterious. It is IMO an afternoon tea, and I can see why they named it after an opera, it is such a perfect tea for an evening occasion. Lovely.
