Take a Sip: The New Flavors of Bellocq Tea

Though the cold weather has come and gone, the desire for a perfectly balanced cup of tea has not. Back in October we introduced a new line of gourmet teas by Bellocq Tea Atelier and they quickly captured the hearts and taste buds of our customers, employees and fellow tea fanatics. For the spring season we have stocked our shelves yet again with Bellocq and are proud to provide an assortment of new flavors to both new and old Bellocq fans!

Choose from a variety of new flavors by Bellocq Tea Atelier.

Here is what's inside some of our favorite blends.

Siam Basil Lemongrass
An exotic caffeine-free blend of bright organic lemongrass and feverish ginger with notes of fresh basil, delicate orange blossom and red mandarine.

Gypsy Caravan
A beguiling blend of organic Indian and Chinese black teas, rambling rose and tongue tingling chile give way to soulful smokey notes reminiscent of a distant campfire. Full-bodied and smooth with delicate floral notes and a wistful, smokey finish. Gypsy Caravan is well-suited to holiday afternoons in a comfortable chair in front of the fire.

Kikuya

Beguiling hand-crafted blend of organic Japanese sencha and the essence of Bulgarian rose strewn with rose petals. Named in honor of the first geisha,  Kikuya retains an air of elegance and mystery.  The emerald leaves of Sencha, delicate with prominent oceanic and grassy notes, balance beautifully with the voluptuous scent of rose.   The resulting pale jade liquor is at once fragrant and refreshing with a long blissful finish.

Charleston 

A tea created for and inspired by the magnificent gardens at Charleston, the country residence of Bloomsbury artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. Our tea pays tribute to the cultivated yet bohemian spirit of the times in a blend of Ceylon black tea subtly enveloped in a cloud of linden with notes of poppy, chamomile and lavender. We wish you a "dithering blaze of flowers and butterflies and apples…". 

Le Hammau

Beautiful organic herbal blend evocative of a summer meadow. Think: 'Manon of the Spring', meets Marie Antoinette after a stroll through l'orangerie. Organic lemongrass and verbena mingle playfully with lavender, rose petals, mint and sage. Refreshing and light-hearted, Le Hammeau may inspire you to adorn your livestock with blushing pink ribbons too. Caffeine-free, this tisane may be enjoyed all day. Delicious iced as well as hot, serve garnished with thin slices of orange and a sprig of just plucked mint, sage or lavender. 

Next time you reach for a cup to quench more than just thirst, try some of Bellocq's tasty new blends.

 St. Patrick's Day is almost here and as they say "It's the one day that everyone's Irish".

This saying couldn't be more accurate if you've ever traveled to Savannah for March 17th. Saint Patrick's Day is Savannah's largest annual celebration and the second largest St. Patrick's Day celebration and parade in the United States. People from all backgrounds, ethnicity's, and beliefs, don the color green and hit the streets for a week of shamrock shenanigans. 

Here at The Paris Market you can find the St. Patrick's Day hue around every corner.

Here are some of our favorite green themed products, perfect for the Irish spirit in us all!

Shamrock cookies specially baked for the holiday! Available in our Patisserie for a limited time!

 A little St. Patrick's Day Know-How

- Green is associated with St. Patrick's Day because it is the color of spring, Ireland and the shamrock.

-  Saint Patrick was born around 385 AD in the United Kingdom. His real name is believed to be Maewyn Succat

- The first St. Patrick's Day parade didn't take place in Ireland, but actually in New York City on March 17, 1762. 

- It is rumored that people give Saint Patrick credit for chasing all the snakes out of Ireland. The truth is that snakes are not indigenous to Ireland.

The Paris Market will be closed tomorrow, Saturday the 16th and will be open for St. Patrick's Day.

Wishing you a very glorious and green St. Patrick's Day this year!
-

St. Patrick's Day is with us,
The day when all that's seen
To right and left and everywhere
Is green, green, green!

And Irish tunes they whistle
And Irish songs they sing,
To-day each Irish lad walks out
As proud as any king.

I'll wear a four-leaf shamrock
In my coat, the glad day through,
For my father and mother are Irish
And I am Irish too!
