drank Paris by Harney & Sons
513 tasting notes

You know, my tasting notes are going to get really boring because I keep drinking the same tea. I haven’t had this one in a while though, and wanted something easy to prepare with breakfast. I still like it very much, but must admit that it is indeed very French in its composition, as it is definitely flavoured but still with a bit of a thin mouth feel. Which is fine-I don’t think Paris ever aspired to be a “hearty” tea. If you like vanilla with a faint hint of bergamot and with some other stone fruits thrown in, I’d give this tea a go. I think I’ll keep sachets of this handy, but might order a loose-leaf version next time around to see if there’s a noticeable difference.

Haha, I actually find myself looking forward to seeing your morning tasting note. Even if it is the same tea. :)

i wouldn’t knock any format of this wonderful tea, but you simply must try it in loose leaf! the aroma jumps out at you! i was pleasantly barraged by a rich, creamy tangy blueberry-bergamot lemon chiffon, blackcurrant extravaganza with the semblance of vanilla pudding. omg. for an experience like that, i’d say a $2.00 sample is surely worth it. after my sample, i now plan to purchase a full pound!

Thanks, Courtney! and pyarkaloo, it’s funny you should mention blueberry—my fiance has always wondered if I was brewing a blueberry tea when I prepare Paris. You have me convinced to try it in loose-leaf!

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
