i will never be the same. i will NOT list the beautiful sample that Ysaurella sent me among my teas and no one can make me! because if i did someone might ask me to share and i would look like a selfish jerk when i replied ‘no’.

this blend makes me feel very north american. the finesse of taste carried the weight of years in history before canada was colonized. this tea was not just a continent apart but an entire world.

if you’re asking yourself whether tea from paris would taste better the answer is a hearty HELL YES!

i taste blackberries and smell a gentle unnamed flower. i taste blue and watercolour heather purple. i see peacock feathers drifting in the basket…. this is a dreamer’s tea. i have never had a tea in which i tasted colour.

ysaurella, i must admit, at several points i didn’t want to drink it. i was completely entranced by the dry blend smell…. i sniffed it so much i’m surprised there was any scent or taste left. i was stopped again as it steeped with beautifully scented vapour roiling.

comme c’est beau….. les gens qui dites ‘ca ne vaux pa la peine d’etre beau’ ne connaissent pas cette the.

This might be the most perfect tasting note ever written. Now I want to share all my MF teas with you.

Yes, possibly best tasting note ever written. I nearly cried. I felt very similarly about Butiki’s rose violet calendula—it tasted purple to me. I’m so glad you wrote this. Just thanks for being you. Also, I have yet to try this but I want to so badly.

I love this note! :)
Also, I don’t think I could ever ask anyone for a sample of Mariage Freres. It would be asking for too much.

I totally get you about that feeling when you drink MF; I feel the exact same way.
