100
drank La Naissance by Fauchon
2201 tasting notes

The next two teas in my cupboard are actually sachets of Lupicia limited Hawaiian teas. Originally I was going to bring some in and have it anyway, but I forgot, and I like to save the sachets for traveling anyway, so I’ll just skip them. I know they’re tasty and when they’re gone they’re gone, so I don’t feel a need to use them up quickly.

Instead, I will skip ahead to perhaps my FAVORITE tea ever (#52). Today I decided that I would break my no-tea-gets-100 rule and just do it. This tea is perfection to me. Almondy, cakey, rosey, delicious. And, of course, it would have to be difficult to obtain. Next time I’m in Paris, I am stocking up. :P

ugh, i so wish there was a way to easily get this tea in Canada!!
it’s pretty much my HG tea at this point

Fjellrev

Nice, I enjoyed this one too, and 100 FTW! I’m still delusionally holding out on Winners/Marshalls bringing in more Fauchon in Canada. :/

ohfancythat

if you see that happen please let me know!!

Fjellrev

You know it! Just makes me wonder where they got it from in the first place.

Dinosara

Yeah, I would love them to come back. I’ve always considered actually contacting Fauchon and see if they would be willing to do a special shipment to the US, but have never actually got around to doing it.

OMGsrsly

Mmm, I love this one too.

Stephanie

I love this one so much, too! If you ever get a chance to buy some in the US I would like in on that group order! :D

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

In my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Mind-blowingly good, just right for my palate, and teas that just take me to a happy place.
89-86: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
85-80: Pretty tasty teas that I enjoy well enough, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but only if there were no preferrable options.
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
Unrated: Usually I feel unqualified to rate these teas because they are types of teas that I tend to not like in general. Sometimes user error or tea brewed under poor conditions.
