drank Full Moon Party by Mariage Frères
2201 tasting notes

In honor of the blood moon/lunar eclipse this morning, which I did not get up to see because I am way too lazy for that. But as I was trying to figure out what tea to drink this morning I remembered this one and realized it would be appropriate.

This is one of the few MF blends that I actually love. This is the tea that convinced me that I could really love a MF tea! I suspect there would be others, but it’s tough to know. It really depends on the base tea, which varies from tea to tea. I will probably take a chance on a couple of others when I am in Berlin soon. The almond is perfect in this, strong and intense, like eating almond candy. The spices are well-blended, too, and aren’t too in-your-face which can happen with things like cinnamon and clove. The base tea is smooth pleasant. This is like Pleine Lune without the fruit (which I don’t care for) and lightly spiced. An almond cookie for sure. Yum.

Flavors: Almond, Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

You’ll love MF in Berlin! I spent about an hour with the guys looking at teas, it helped that I was the only customer.

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

In my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Mind-blowingly good, just right for my palate, and teas that just take me to a happy place.
89-86: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
85-80: Pretty tasty teas that I enjoy well enough, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but only if there were no preferrable options.
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
Unrated: Usually I feel unqualified to rate these teas because they are types of teas that I tend to not like in general. Sometimes user error or tea brewed under poor conditions.
