Lioness Launch / Mozambique’s House of Agness launches new bespoke, luxury tea collection

May 9, 2021 Melanie Hawken
Mariana Agness Francisco Eria

Mariana Agness Francisco Eria

The House of Agness, founded by creative entrepreneur Mariana Agness Francisco Eria, is a contemporary Floral House based in Mozambique and specializing in bespoke, minimalistic floral arrangements. The company’s inspiration is based on  minimalism and sustainability. The House of Agness range of products and services includes, but is not limited to, the delivery of signature floral boxes, bouquets, gift boxes and onsite floral services, as well as corporate event management and design. Signature flowers include roses, orchids, hydrangeas and peonies (seasonal). The company takes pride in the preserved flower collection where a rose can last for as long as 2 years in its lush acrylic boxes.


The House of Agness is now spreading its creative wings and proudly launching its own range of bespoke Teas. Within the lineage for the brand’s love for nature and florals, three flavours have been selected for the launch, being that "Love" is the foundation for both Happiness and the act of being Chic:

Love - (Rose Petals, Hibiscus)

Happiness - (Rose Petals, Hibiscus and Lemon Balm)

Chic - (Rose Petals, Hibiscus and Mulberry) 

What makes The House of Agness range of signature teas so different is that they are meticulously selected to guarantee an elevated quality experience for the brand’s esteemed customers.

Speaking about the launch of the new luxury, bespoke tea range, founder Mariana Agness Francisco Eria, said:

“As we do all things in love, passion and perfectionism, we could not be any prouder of the outcome. Our lush teas can be a self spoil, a gift to a loved one and even be part of a corporate event and or be included as a wedding hamper. This product experience not only benefits our health but is also lovely ritual of slowing time down and calming the soul. We aspire to become a reference point for ethically grown Mozambican branded Luxury Teas.”

The new range of The House of Agness teas is currently available at the following outlets:

  • The House Of Agness Floral Studio, 806 Martires da Machava Avenue, Polana Cimento, Maputo, Mozambique

  • The House Of Agness Floral Kiosk, 151 Marginal Avenue, Baía Mall, Maputo, Mozambique

Speaking about what she hopes customers will take away from the new luxury tea experience from The House of Agness, Mariana adds:

“May this understated ritual gain momentum evermore. Our own little pause button that not only offers us a fresh, delicious fragrance but allows our palate to go on an adventure.”
