The history of Mariage Frères dates back to the 17th century when Nicolas Mariage, a member of the Mariage family, travelled to Persia on a mission for the French King Louis XIV. His journey sparked the family's interest in tea, and they began trading the commodity in France.
In 1854, brothers Henri and Edouard Mariage established the Mariage Frères tea company in Paris. They focused on importing the finest quality teas from the Far East, establishing a reputation for excellence that continues to this day.

In addition to tea, Mariage Frères also sells tea-related products such as teapots, tea cups, and tea infusers. The company also operates tea salons and restaurants in Paris and other cities around the world, where customers can enjoy a cup of tea along with French pastries and other delicacies.
