Full Moon Party

Sadly it is a sipdown. I finished my canister and as this tea is only available (alas !) in canister, at 22 €, I am afraid I won’t repurchase it until a while. I propably will use the tin to put Pleine Lune tea.

I sent some of Full Moon Party to several people and unfortunately no one reviewed it until now. This is one of the mystery blend.

I especially like the mix almond and rose here. this is so sweet, so mellow.

Bye bye sweetie…

ce thé est tres bons je l’ aime a 100 pour 100 :)
c’ est le meme que pleine l une voici pourquoi je l’ ai tres bien notée

Ah, Mariage Freres… I love you in spite of your overblown descriptions.

Full Moon Party is like Pleine Lune with some extra cinnamon and clove hints, for which you pay an extra 11 Euro. I tried the black tea version, which was almond + cinnamon + cloves. Yup. That’s it.

Certainly it’s a good quality, smooth tea (this rather safe combination is pretty much guaranteed to please most palates). I am noticing an inverse ratio between the uniqueness of the tea and the level of Mariage Freres poetic excess in the description.

“Once upon a time there was a tall, midnight-black canister with a Harlequin figure dancing below a full, silvery moon inhabited by a magical rabbit.
The Harlequin urges us to reinvent our calendar of revels – on every night that a full moon rises we can henceforth dance, sing and promise the stars to whomever we wish.
And the rabbit? He restores a childlike vision to us – the vision of Asian lands where a rabbit is companion to a goddess known for her elixir of long life, peace, and luck, as well as for her mooncakes.”

Translation: It’s Pleine Lune with a hint of cinnamon and cloves but comes in a fancy cani$ter. Apparently, it can prompt some strange affairs with harlequins and childlike magic rabbits. I’ll stick with the Pleine Lune, thanks. It’s half the price and does not involve any sleazy harlequins with questionable motives.

Shmeh. The name was more exciting than the tea.

coucou , les fille je suis française et ne parle pas très bien anglais j’espère que vous me comprendrez en français et que certaines d’entre vous parle français . Donc ma première revue se porte sur le thé Full Moon Party , c’est mon thé préféré de chez mariages frères qui est inspiré du thé Pleine Lune que j’ai également dans ma collection de chez mariages Frère . Ce thé es mon thé préféré car j’avais gouté le Pleine Lune qui était un peu trop fort a mon gout alors j’ai cherche pour voir si il y’avait une version du pleine lune mais en plus doux et oui je l’ai trouver . Dés que je le prends j’ai l’impression d’être autre part pas chez moi c’est une sensations unique que je n’avait jamais ressentit avant quand je prenez mon bol de thé tout les matin . Résultat je le prends pratiquement tout les jours et c’est un vrai bonheur je l’ai fini hier mais je le rachèterais évidemment . Le seul petit problème c’est que ce thé ne peut pas être acheté avec le grammage que l’on souhaite il est vendu dans une boite magnifique … Bref j’ espère que cette revue vous aura plus … kiss …

A very sweet and spicy tea. Drank it now, but it feels more of a wintery tea, with those flavours. Not the perfect moment to drink it, but it was one great ride. Tasty, flavourful, great. Go for it!

I thought that I would forever be a Mariage Frères doubter, but this tea proved me wrong. SUPER almondy today (like drinking marzipan), sweet and smooth with a nice amount of spices. Sadly this is one of those limited edition MF teas that only comes in an expensive tin, but I will enjoy what I have of it. Who knows, one day I may find another MF tea that I love.
