Advent Tea Calendar Day 6
Perennial Tea Room/Harney & Sons
Type: Flavored Black
Origin: Not Provided
Product Description: Mike has enjoyed many a pot of tea in the famous Paris tea shops. In homage to the city he has created this blend reminiscent of one of their most popular blends. It is a fruity black tea with vanilla and caramel flavors, and a hint of lemony Bergamot. Our Paris tea is Kosher and contains caffeine.
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaves are blended with vanilla, citrus, and bergamot.
The infusion is red-brown with an aroma of caramel, vanilla, citrus and even cherries. The taste is sweet and mild, with hints of vanilla and a smoky quality.
It was especially nice to find that the bergamot was not overwhelming, resulting in a well-balanced blend of flavors and aroma. I found it enjoyable on its own as well as with just a splash of milk and it would make a fine dessert tea after a meal. The low astringency and mellow flavor also make this a good tea to share with guests who might otherwise avoid black teas.
This tea was purchased by me.
