Mariage Freres Tea Emporium

Lovely food and experience for afternoon tea. The service was very attentive and the menus were quite exhaustive, with very prompt service. The interiors are stunning and the shop floors are gorgeous; the summer tea we were served was extremely good. The only improvement we could think of would be slightly more selections available in the afternoon tea offerings, particularly with the tea-infused desserts (most of which were amazing, but one was quite heavy on mint).

Mariage Frères in Covent Garden is a unique tea house with a non-traditional, Asian-inspired menu. The iced teas are particularly refreshing and flavorful, with the Havana and Tokyo Mojito being my favourites. The Flower Summer tea is also delicious, I recommend adding a bit of liquid sugar to it. The scones are also delicious, but they are very different from traditional British scones. The Matcha scones have big chunks of ginger in them, which gives them a unique flavour and texture. The Cinnamon scones are also very good, and the Vanilla Raisin scones are perfect for those who like a sweeter scone. Overall, Mariage Frères is a great place to go for a unique tea experience. The cool view overlooking Covent Garden is also a nice bonus.

A wonderful French treasure house in a Georgian townhouse in Covent Garden housing the world’s most exclusive of luxury teas, Mariage Frères, bringing the tea savoir-faire to the capital as well as instagram influencers and walking-in tourists for an exclusive ambience of tea decor, aroma and a taste of their extraordinary collection. We enjoyed the immersive afternoon tea experience along with the artistic patisserie served with utmost elegance. The pricing did meet our expectations. We enjoyed walking around the retail space at as well as Mariage Frères in London as well as the tea museum. This place also has private event spaces. Thank you @mariagefreresofficial for this out if the world afternoon tea experience ☕️

The first minute you walk inside you’ll notice the sheer opulence as the tea room is adorned with hundreds and thousands range of teas around the world. They mostly range from the Far East, India to Africa and South America. Downstairs is the tea boutique where you can buy loose tea bags from anywhere you’d like, even the tea pot comes in all shapes and sizes. It can be really pricey if you want to host a posh tea party of your own. Moving on upstairs is the tea room where you can sit down and relax while you get a separate menu just for teas. Just to let you know it took me almost 10-15 mins to decide which tea I’d want because you’ll run out options. I think they’re over 200-1000 types of teas in the menu. I’ve never seen anything like this before. But of course they all come with a price, tea ranges from £8-18 and they will serve up-to 4 cups so it’s perfect for two people which I did as I took my best friend luckily. For the light nibbles to have with the tea can be expensive as it’s £9 for an eclair! But it’s totally worth it. Would recommend to visit this gorgeous tea house for ardent tea lovers like myself. Please do check it out!
