Earl Grey French Blue from Mariage Frères
66

Just tried this one today… it’s a whole mouth sort of tea. Meaning there is flavor that excites the entire mouth… very filling. It’s a black tea which has that delicate tang of a fine perfume which I can only guess is the bergamot. It is floral with citrus charm and I swear there is hint of pepper hiding in the back somewhere. I should imagine this would pair charmingly with lemon and a blackberry honey. As of right now, I have spoiled my self with the addition of milk, organic acacia honey, a warm shall and Jane Austen’s Emma. Cheers!

Here’s the thread where you can add it. http://steepster.com/discuss/194-steepster-dictionary I also covet your location. I long to live in WA, but no one will hire me because I don’t currently live there and I can’t move w/o a job.

Really? Not Everett but perhaps Seattle… The area is amazing. I awake to the sight of the Cascade Mountain range and love to hike when the roads are safe.

Yeah, I’d love to live in Seattle, Mill Creek, Leavenworth, or Ellensburg (inspite of my ex living there). I’m flying out to Seattle to see my best friend graduate w/ her Ph. D. in physical therapy in June and I know I won’t want to leave. My email address is in my profile- I’d greatly appreciate any recommendation as to good places to drink and buy tea in Seattle, especially a place that serves a good bowla matcha. I’ve actually spent very little time in Seattle but did stop at MarketSpice on my last trip.

Will work on this for you! I will prowl around the city and see what I find…

That is another lovely review. I just got this tea too. I like it very much. I don’t have the ability to taste tea the way you do, but I would like to. You have inspired me! I love tea very much, it is a newly found love and I am very excited about it. And this site is fabulous indeed. I see you like Mariage Freres. I have been obsessed with it since finding Marco Polo, but others have yet to compare…
