manjari drank Rare Spanish Almond Blossom by Rare Tea Company

61 tasting notes

I had the distinct pleasure of trying this tea at Brown’s Hotel in London. A girlfriend and I went for afternoon tea and had a lovely black tea for our sandwich course, but for dessert I chose this almond blossom infusion on a whim and I was absolutely floored. It’s gentle and beautiful and has the most incredible aftertaste of decadent globe artichoke. I fell instantly in love and I’m only mildly saddened by its price tag and exclusivity. Hard to believe I can’t find a single other retailer who carries it, but I’ll have to splurge and get myself some for a special occasion, because what a treat this tea is!

Flavors: Almond, Artichoke, Butter, Floral, Grass

Bio

I live in Toronto, Canada, land of the fiercely intense, but short, summer, and absurdly long, equally fierce, cold autumn/winter/spring. Tea, coffee, soup, stew, chilli, mulled wine, and hot cider are staples here for a good part of the year.

Currently, I’m really digging plain black tea, chocolate and caramel accented black teas, and chais. I’m not into super grassy teas, but I like a good, smoky jasmine green. I’m told I should try some lapsang and pu’erh, which I intend to do, but I’m hella lazy. One of these days!

I live with one (very loud) Siamese cat, one (floppy-eared and goofy) Doberman Pinscher, and one (somewhat introverted and stoic) man who indulges me shamelessly. I’m pretty lucky. :)

Edit: What changes life brings! I’ve been caffeine-free for about 7 years now (not by choice!), so I’m mainly drinking decaf Earl Grey and assorted herbal infusions. Alas! Age stole my beloved Siamese, and heart disease took my Dobie. We now share our home with a lively supermutt and an oasis of a vegetable garden.
