French tea house Mariage Frères has presented its 2026 Christmas collection at its Covent Garden tea room in London. The full range will be available at the end of October in the brand’s stores worldwide and online, while the Advent calendar and the Noël gift set are already on sale.
The new teas include Bûche de Noël, a sugar-free black tea inspired by the traditional Christmas log cake, with notes of citrus, chocolate, caramel and red fruits, and Christmas in Love, a blend with almonds and hibiscus flowers. Noël Royal leans on intense bergamot, while Noël Princier is a green tea with fruits and spices, designed for a gentler cup.
The collection also includes the Garden Party set, with three house teas (Marco Polo, Esprit de Noël and Earl Grey Provence), a musical tea box inspired by the ballet “Swan Lake”, and the Noel in Love box, available only at Covent Garden and Selfridges.
