Short Sorceress drank Paris by Harney & Sons

2145 tasting notes

I purchased a tin of bags during a sell off sale and absolutely do not regret the purchase one bit. I made a cup of this before bed last night knowing that I would likely be up for a few hours reading. This is such a comforting tea and perfect for the cold rainy night we were having.

It took me awhile to identify the flavors I was tasting. With one sip I would pick up something sweet and almost caramel tasting, next would be fruity, and the next lemony bergamot goodness. All of the flavors were subtle and I loved how I picked up something a little different with each sip.

Next June I’ll be spending two weeks in Paris and I think this tea will have to come along for the journey. I have nearly eight months left to figure out what other teas I want to take, but drinking Paris while in Paris seems like a good idea to me.

I adore Paris (both this tea and the city). And how fun to sip the tea in its namesake city!

I wouldn’t take any so I had an excuse to buy some while there ;)

I’m going to need a second suitcase for all the tea I want to buy while I’m there.

Profile

Bio

I am always interested in swapping so if you see anything in my cupboard that you want to try just send me a message. Please keep in mind that I order most of my teas in sample sizes and may not have a lot to swap. I’m also trying to keep my swaps limited to one a month so I don’t break the bank.

My favorite tea companies to order from are American Tea Room, Rishi, TeaVivre, and Single Origin Teas, however I am constantly lured away from my favorites by a good sale.

Ingredients I love in tea
rose, peach, oolong, osmanthus, vanilla, marshmallow root and peppermint

Ingredients I dislike in tea:
spearmint, chocolate, orange, hibiscus, sage and for the most part lemon.

I am a firm believer that sage only belongs in my thanksgiving stuffing/dressing and absolutely not in my tea.

Allergies
Cinnamon, Chocolate, Burdock Root, and Goji Berries

Teawares:
FORLIFE Curve Teapot, 24oz
Adagio ingenuiTEA, 16oz
Adagio Iced ingenuiTEA, 32oz
Zojirushi Water Pot, 4L

Rating Guidelines:

100 – 90: Pantry essential and some of my all time favorites that I can’t live without.

89 – 80: You’ll have a pretty good chance of finding this is my pantry on a regular basis, but it isn’t the end of the world if I run out.

79 – 70: I might consider restocking this at some point if the price was right.

69 – 40: Not undrinkable, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again.

39 – 20: What in the world were they thinking? Probably still finished this just because I hate to waste anything.

19 – 0: Wow, that’s so terrible chances are pretty good I dumped it out and gave away the rest.

My current top five favorite teas:

China Black – Rishi Tea
Earl Grey Cream – Zen Tea
Lemoncello – American Tea Room
Nonpareil Anxi Qing Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong – TeaVivre
White Tea Rose Mélange – Rishi Tea
