Paris from Harney & Sons
91

This was a sample from momo’s awesome tin of teas she brought me when visiting, so nice of her, thank you again Amanda! :)
I’ve been wanting to try this tea for a long while but have been scared of the mentioned bergamot as I just can’t get over the soapyness of earl greys.
The dry leaf of Paris smells very pleasant, yummy, and welcoming. 
Brewed it’s smelling a little bergamonty which worries me… but surprisingly doesn’t taste like it at all! I added a little sugar and yes, I like this! 
The word sophisticated immediately comes to my mind when describing this tea. 
It tastes a little fruity, a tad lemony, and has a perfectly smooth and lovely black base. I’m sure there is more going on taste-wise but I need more cups to discover it fully. It is very very good. It is definitely the best fruity black tea I have ever had. Will certainly get a tin of this at some point.

Those two are my favorites of Harney’s “City” blends! Good choice :)

Profile

Bio

I began my tea journey in January of this year (with loose-leaf that is) and am now completely obsessed with all things tea.

My favorite teas tend to be flavored and non-flavored black teas. Iced or hot. I have a favorite white, green, and herbal as well. I don’t like smoky teas or strong rooibos teas.

Along with tea, I also love photography and nature and combine the two as much as possible. Forests and trees are my passion and I love learning about them in and out of school.

Location

Currently in south fl where forests and tea shops are non existent. I will be moving to the Pacific Northwest for the trees, my forest studies, and perfect tea weather!
