The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 7 November 2017 7 Comments

Mariage Frères Tea Jelly, in Earl Grey Impérial: "Created by the Mariage family in the 19th century, these collection of tea jellies, manufactured in the traditional way in copper pans, are a wonderful accompaniment to toast, brioches and scones. The fruit of this ancestral knowledge, this tea jelly, flavoured with the greatest bergamot, combines its subtlety with the splendour of the best Darjeeling teas." €8.50 for 240g.

    I always get confused – is jelly like a fruit jam, but smooth?

      Yes, jelly is usually strained.

        But, I should add, I have no idea if the jam vs. jelly conventions are the same in France as elsewhere!

      I have not had this specific Mariage Freres tea jelly, but I have had others and they are clear jellies.

        Yes, I think I had the Marco Polo? It was clear.

    My mother in law (huge tea drinker) just turned me on to the jelly teas, they are quite delicious!
    We have a Gump’s in downtown SF, I should take a trip and see what sort of goodies I can find….
