Mariage Frères Marco Polo black tea sachets — 30 round cotton muslin bags, fruity floral aroma

Mariage Frères Marco Polo is a legendary flavored black tea blend, packaged as 30 round French cotton muslin sachets that deliver a velvety, fruity and floral cup.

Designed by the storied Parisian house Mariage Frères, Marco Polo is a scented black tea inspired by imagined journeys across China and Tibet. The blend combines black tea leaves with layers of floral and fruit aromas to produce a rounded, aromatic profile that many tea drinkers call plush and evocative. This presentation comes in 30 original round cotton muslin tea sachets, each offering an easy single-serve infusion while preserving the blend's fragrance and mouthfeel.

What does Marco Polo taste like and when should I drink it?

Marco Polo presents a balance of ripe fruit notes and delicate florals anchored on a smooth black tea base. The result is neither excessively sweet nor heavily tannic, making it flexible for different moments of the day. It works well for breakfast, afternoon tea, or anytime you want a fragrant, comforting cup.

• Flavor profile: fruity and floral over a mellow black-tea backbone
• Aroma: pronounced bouquet that fills the cup and linger gently
• Recommended occasions: morning pick-me-up, afternoon ritual, relaxing break

How do I brew the muslin sachets for best results?

Each round cotton sachet is designed for a single 200 ml cup: pour freshly boiled water at 95°C (203°F) and steep for about five minutes. The muslin allows good leaf expansion and infusion of the scented components while keeping preparation simple and tidy. Adjust steeping time slightly to taste: a shorter steep for lighter aroma, a touch longer for a stronger cup.

• Use 1 sachet per 200 ml (20 cl) of water
• Water temperature: 95°C / 203°F for optimal extraction
• Steeping time: 5 minutes; shorten or lengthen to preference

What makes the cotton muslin sachets different from regular tea bags?

The round French cotton muslin sachets are breathable and roomy, giving whole or broken leaves space to unfurl and release their aroma more naturally than compact paper bags. Cotton is neutral in scent, so it does not interfere with the delicate floral and fruity notes. The result is a cleaner, more authentic expression of the Mariage Frères Marco Polo blend with convenient single-serve portioning.

• Material: original cotton muslin for natural breathability
• Shape: round sachets allow better leaf expansion
• Benefit: preserves aroma and texture while offering easy cleanup

How is the tea packaged and what are its practical details?

The compact box is suitable for home use, gifting, or travel; each sachet is a measured serving, simplifying brewing and portion control.
