drank Mon Premier Thé by Fauchon
15061 tasting notes

So…while i was in Paris, this was one of the teas that i contemplated picking up from the Fauchon store because you could get it outside of a tin purchase. For some reason, i opted not to (i’m guessing it was the other 3.5kg that i’d already bought). So when i returned home and saw that MissB had thoughtfully included some of this in her last package i was SUPER excited. So much so that it was picked to be brewed this morning, even though it’s decaf and i could have had it in the evening. I was just super excited to try it and see if this was a regret.

It is. haha. I won’t cry over not picking more up, but I wish that i had. This is a really nice cocoa/raspberry/caramel tea..and it’s decaf! The bear shaped sprinkles in here don’t even annoy me like most sprinkles do.

Sprinkles!

Sil

I didn’t think Fauchon would be into doing something like that (sprinkles).

VariaTEA

If I come across fauchon in my travels, I can grab some more for you!

Stephanie

Cocoa raspberry caramel sounds amazing! YAY Fauchon!

Sil

VariaTEA – you guys will have your hands full. It’s enough to know that i’ll enjoy it in future. I have lots of new teas to try thanks to MissB and my purchases. heh

3.5 kg of tea? You win ;)

(my suitcase, the last time I was in paris, ah, it smelled fantastic!)

Sil

cteresa- haha i hope you had a great time with ysaurella. I’m really sorry i wasn’t able to join you on the saturday :(

It was very nice indeed, I got my first Lupicia teas. I did not make it to Theodor though because of subway malfunction, maybe next time. I confess to one thing, the fact Lupicia sells by the 50 grams and that Ysaurella showed me a shop which sold MF by the 50 grams did contribute to me staying at a lower tea weight! Plus you know, sadly, no Theodor :( Next time…

Sil

lupicia? awe man…i totally missed that :(

MissB

Aha…. see, great minds think alike. Another of their teas has butterfly sprinkles in it, which I’m pretty sure I sent you the entire 50g of that because it’s oolong.

Sil

yes…oolong caramel du buerre sale…

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
