I was afraid to try this hot, so i opted for a cold brew on this one instead because of the scent. It turns out, cold brew was not the way to go on this one. It was bitter and perfumey and citrusy. I had a couple sips and then had to say no. Into the share pile it goes as I’m fairly confident that even hot i won’t enjoy this much. Thanks to Ysaurella though for the chance to try a new tea! :)

I am very Citrus teas…this one had a wonderful perfume that’s the reason why I decide to buy it when I was visiting the Mariage shop rue des grands Augustins.

The point is I am not very green teas because I often find them a little bit bitter.I hope this will change with time as green teas are so often mentionned as very good for health.

Le thé des légendes is a little too much bitter for me – even if I tried several times to steep it less time – even if I added some sugar in my mug.

I have no doubt this is really a great tea but it’s unfortunatelly not done for me

Sipdown !
Definitively not a tea for me but I know it is BECAUSE I am not very green tea.
However it may come from the tea base too.
I know this tea is a best seller of the Brand and people who loves greens really enjoy it.
The citrus flavours are really uncommon and unique, really nice.

I won’t rebuy it but I can understand why it is one of my best friends preferred teas.

Brewed in a big teapot.
Well I’m not really into into citrus flavored tea. It reminds me of the (bad) tea you can find in any public coffee machine.
This one is good, it reminds me of Yuzuu Temple (from Mariage Freres too), and I liked this one better.
The tea is oily and the flavor is nice without being too strong or overwhelming.
A good everyday tea.
