drank Full Moon Party by Mariage Frères
2201 tasting notes

It’s funny, because I bought this tea (#29) last year in Pittsburgh when I went up for a knitting expo. Well, last weekend I was in Pittsburgh for the same expo. This year it was a bit later so I am not at exactly a year (which would be awesome), but pretty close.

Anyway, as I’ve said before, this tea made me give MF a second chance. I may be a French tea addict, but I had always had so-so experiences with their teas until this one. It’s always tough when you have to commit to 100g right out of the gate, but I’ve been more willing to take that chance now. Their almond flavor is pretty good (not necessarily their other nuts, though; Trois Noix was a disaster for me), and I’ve had decent luck with the bases for the almond teas.

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

Where in Pittsburgh do they sell it?

I found it at a little crepe cafe in the University District. They only had a couple of flavors.

Bio

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.
