Tennis season is about to begin, and all eyes are on the little yellow ball - especially when it’s edible!

Introducing OPEN!, the latest pâtisserie creation from Mariage Frères: a playful and elegant tribute to the sport of summer, blending French flair with a touch of British charm.

Perched atop a green-hued Parisian shortbread, evoking the lush grass courts, this striking dessert reveals a generous tennis ball-shaped dome. At its centre lies a heart of candied Mara des Bois strawberries and pink rhubarb, lovingly encased in a smooth white chocolate ganache infused with the “London in Love” tea - a signature blend from Mariage Frères’ renowned Jardin Premier® collection.

Both visually striking and delicately flavoured, OPEN! is a must-try for pâtisserie lovers, tea connoisseurs and tennis fans alike.
