Description

Nina's Marie Antoinette Loose Leaf Tea Gift Tin is Nina’s Paris Ceylon tea with rose petals and apple notes, presented in the house’s collectible pink tin. A composed loose-leaf blend with enough character for a proper tea service and enough restraint for repeat brewing.

The Lello View

Rose and apple give Marie Antoinette a lighter, more lifted profile than the sweeter Nina’s blends. It is especially well suited to a classic afternoon-tea table.

At the Table

  • Serve with scones, fruit tarts and light butter cakes

Why you'll love it

  • The only tea in the world made with fresh apples and rose petals from the King's Kitchen Garden at Versailles (Au Bon Goût Boutique; French Garden House).
  • Blend: Ceylon black tea (93%), tea buds (3%), rose petals (2%), natural flavor (2%) — "a rose-apple perfume in cup form" (Gilt; The French Farm).
  • Bestseller at France's official museum boutiques. Iconic pink keepsake tin shields tea from light and air — reviewers reuse the tin (Gilt).
  • Tasting: gentle pear-apple top notes, soft rose, malty Ceylon base; works with or without milk, excellent iced (Steepster; The French Farm). Same blend served at Nina's Vendôme tearoom next to Place Vendôme.

The queen's own tea — Ceylon black tea with rose petals and fresh apples from the King's Kitchen Garden at Versailles, in the famous pink keepsake tin.
