This tea is quickly becoming my favorite black tea (alongside Lipton’s Earl Grey and some brand of chai…once I find it :). Paris’ aroma has a subtle sweetness uncharacteristic of other black teas, which makes the drinking experience quite lovely. And yet it also has that heavy bitterness of body, such that one can take it absolutely seriously as a black tea. I haven’t tried it with cream (and don’t know if I should), but it already tastes perfect without cream or milk so I don’t expect their addition to enhance the flavor. But who knows?

I bought the loose leaf tin and the leaves are also sufficiently large so as not to slip through my long-stemmed large-holed steeper (unlike another tea I tried, which shall remain nameless). That was another pleasant perk! Props to Harney & Sons!!

A novelty tea from Pike Place Market in Seattle. Hints of peach that exude a light fragrance upon sipping. Big downside is that the tea leaves are too minuscule. They slip through the filter and float to the top, impeding the drinking experience. Consumption created a sensation similar to chamomile, albeit fruitier. Also seems a bit blacker than the herbal teas.
