What a lovely tea ! I am a sucker for apple teas and for peach, apricot and vanilla teas so…i picked this one

I especially adore apricots but actually I refuse to buy any…I am living in Paris it just means we don’t have apricots around and I cannot buy directly to the producer…We are producing a lot of Apricot in the south of France but if I want to buy 1 kg (2.2 pounds) I have to pay 7 € ! 3 years ago during the season apricots were around 3 € which was correct. And I won’t speak about cherries (9 € a kg !) I hope in your respective countries you can buy seasonal fruits without contracting a credit :) !

The tea…of course I love this one.
I brewed it at 100°c and left it for 6 minutes.
Again same tea base as with the other Nina’s Paris flavoured blacks I tried until now.
The aromas are incredible and I got first peach and vanilla then apricot, apple is really behind.
This is my favourite of the Nina’s samples I tried until now.So delicate, so smooth and YUMMY.
Thank you Laurent and Mélanie from Nina’s Paris for the sample.

The price of fruit at the moment is ridiculous but probably due to the dreadful weather we’ve had :( I haven’t had a single cherry this whole summer (and only a few nectarines..)

agree Ruby Woo Scarlett but I think they (distributors) are exagerating a little… without being a conspiracy enthousiast

Ruby Woo Scarlett

Haha! Agreed :D

Oh goodness, 7 euros for apricots, that is a lot! One might has well buy a tree and keep it on a pot (am doing this that year with basil and chilly peppers and even a cherry tomato plant which is being surprisingly productive).

Cherries are cheaper here, around 3-4-5 euros a kilo on the main season, but cherries are always the most expensive fruit! apricots are sort of expensive also actually, by our standards – but we have a lot of very cheap fruit usually, citrins, apples and pears usually around a euro a kilo when in season.

in Paris pears and apple in season are 3 € ! pears and apples…the simpliest fruits to find in France…I am on the point to decide to knit my own apples and pears ;)

definetely a tree in a pot – I am going to try kumqats this year!

First, please forgive me for my English and all the grammatical mistakes you’ll find in my posts.
As English isn’t my mother tongue it sometimes makes things more difficult to express cleverly and accurately what I feel.

I was mainly in black flavoured teas, green as well if not bitter.
I’m now drinking much straight teas because my palate is now developed enough to appreciate them .

My favourite brands are : Taiwan tea Crafts, Teavivre, Mariage Frères,Theodor,Butiki Teas,Dammann Frères, Betjeman & Barton.
My ratings are as follow :

100 to 95 : my darlings; always in my cupboard (or very often ! )

94 to 90 : Excellent tea

89 to 80 : very good tea, a pleasure to drink it

79 to 70: not bad even quite nice, why not having it sometimes, but well,it’s not so urgent !

69 to 50 : Meh, deceptive or just not for me – but has some qualities

49 to 30 : I just don’t appreciate it

Under 30 : is this thing supposed to be tea ?!?!?
