Here is a brief history of Mariage Frères. The tea trade in France began to flourish in the mid-17th century, and Henri and Edouard Mariage founded the Mariage Frères Tea Company in 1854. For more than 130 years, the company has been managed by four generations of family tea merchants, and its business includes importing high-quality tea from the East and then selling it to high-end hotels and tea shops in France. Today, Mariage Frères operates more than 30 points of sale in France, England, Germany and Japan, as well as five Mariage Frères tea rooms in Paris. Their tea is also served to major hotels such as Meurice in Paris, Claridge's in London and Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, as well as Japan Airlines First Class passengers.
