I didn’t realize when I added this to my cart how little tea I’d get. I think it’s only 50g. It has a really rich smoky flavor that I’m not finding overwhelming. It has something light and tart in the sip that I can’t quite pin point. It almost has a sweet yet savory taste. Part of what made me curious about this tea is the tonka bean notes. I’m not exactly sure if it’s flavored with tonka beans or just tastes like it. French translated to English sometimes gets a little choppy. This past year I was able to get my hands on some tonka beans, so I have an idea of the flavor established. The finish definitely tastes like tonka and is a little dry. Overall I’m liking this and am looking forward to sipping more!

They actually have an English version of the site if you click “EN” at the top right corner. To me, it sounds like they mean natural notes of vanilla and tonka bean.
Awww, I was really excited about the idea of a tea flavored with real tonka beans. It’s a forbidden bean in the states which makes it sound so much more delicious!

Coumarin strikes again (tonka beans sound delicious).
It’s so weird that it’s illegal here. There are so many other things way more toxic that we can have, but not that one!
