Another tea from Miss B ‘s stash sale! (Best deal ever!) I’m not a huge fan of orange in teas…or really anything for that matter. I’m pretty much a purist when it comes to orange in that I like actual oranges but not much else, not even orange juice. Despite all that, I really enjoyed this cup of tea! It was an extremely well done tea. The harshness of the orange was tempered by the apricot and the whole thing was subtle in the best way. This tea had an understated elegance about it. I think that any orange lover would probably cherish this tea like Gollem with the precious.

Also, I had a fabulous Monday and I hope all you Steepster-ites did too :-). My colonies of cells that I carefully tended over the weekend looked good, my prodigal plasmids returned (I found them stuffed in the back of the freezer behind a ton of boxes; not cool, careless freezer-rearranging labmate!), and my best lab friend, whose cells I also tended over the weekend so she could go on a trip, brought me a tea gift! She brought me Coco-lada by Owl’s brew which is “a tea crafted for cocktails.” Yes please! She also brought in some vafler, which we ate with raspberry jam and gjetost during break while I drank this Fauchon creation.

Flavors: Apricot, Floral, Orange

Ugh, there are like a billion Fauchon teas I want to try. Stalking Vente-Privee…

A. Did Nina’s ever get back to you about the samples? B. Does steepster hate everyone today, or just me?

Cameron B.

It definitely hates me too. I emailed them about it and they said they were having issues too.

Cameron B.

So please delete my million comment copies. XD

Ost

Haha glad it’s not just me too! :P

mj

There’s no tiny trashcan button! So I don’t think I can delete your comments for you. We all know you were a victim of the Steepster hissy fit

Kaylee

ok it’s a bit funny that your response to the repeated comments got repeated

mj

LOL It totally is

Ost

This totally makes me laugh xD I find this just so funny, but maybe it’s just the meds xD

Marzipan

Cameron is really excited about this tea! :D

Stephanie

Miss B sold some Fauchon? I MISSED IT!

Marzipan

This sounds like a tea for me, since I love all things orange.

mj

Stephanie, Miss B wasn’t specifically selling Fauchon. This was more of a grab bag situation where she sold me a box full of wonderful surprises!

Marzipan, I only had a sample size of all the teas I got from Miss B, otherwise I ’d offer to send you some!

DYING. This comment thread made me laugh so hard.

A lovely Fauchon sample from OMGsrsly!

This is one juicy black tea!

I was actually pretty impressed with myself because I was able to pick out peach notes and rose notes immediately….I often don’t trust my tastebuds to tell me the truth.

It was very fresh tasting and enjoyable, but I wouldn’t need to buy it, I prefer their La Naissance tea! (Also has roses)….not much for super fruity black teas!, though I suppose it could make a good cold brew!

So happy to have tried it!

Thanks, OMGsrsly!

Starting my morning with an evening in France! heh! Thanks boychik!

There is a lot of juicy apricot going on here. Also as expected, the nice mild base and floral overtones signature to Fauchon. Very enjoyable. I could picture it being a pleasant evening tea. Man, I want to go visit Paris some day! If I ever get to, I’m totally going to the Fauchon store!!!

Dinosara

Fauchon’s store is a totally dazzling array of goodies… I love it! It’s hard for me to leave that store without spending an absurd amount of money, not just on teas but jams, candies, etc…

Stephanie

Yes! I can only imagine…if/when I get to go I will have to budget quite a bit for Fauchon. My car will be paid off in a year, and after that I’m going to stick so much money in savings! The plan is to save up for a trip to France in approximately 5 years. I just want to eat so much food and look at so much art, hahaha :D
