Lupiressmoon drank Le Thé Féerique by Palais des Thés

308 tasting notes

Day 1 of Advent Calendar for Palais des Thés

The “satchets” of these are adorable. Thick thread with muslim type instead of paper. Impressive smell.

I was not sure what to think as it describes as Green tea with almond and roasted rice. I expected an earthy, roasted rice type green tea. Instead I got a fall vibe with cinnamon and warmth. Surprising enough I had to look on the back of the bag for full ingredients, which again just adds green tea, almond, and roasted rice.

On the back of advent box, however, it starts listing other ingredients of Cinnamon, cocoa husk, chicory root roasted, orange peel

The cinnamon is very strong – and very good – in this one. I can taste mainly it with a slightly breeze of the orange to enhance. It’s not artificial. It is candy spice type but done in the right doses well. The tea base part is surprisingly weak in the backdrop, though. I enjoyed sipping on this one, but it wasn’t full in the flavors of the tea or any earthiness.

Bio

I have a drink obsession in general – daily lattes and coffees, and of course teas of many varieties. I mainly drink hot tea in Florida, but still enjoy the occasional southern sweet iced.

My preference is black tea, although I’m open to trial and error with others. I like the old fashioned English style tea cups, tea parties, food pair-ups, mini desserts and pies, cubes of sugar, small collection of Rose Red tea pets, you get the idea. I will always have an old fashioned tea kettle on the stove, but have recently purchased an electric tea kettle that I absolutely adore. I’m lazy by nature, so I have switched to stuffing tea bags for the loose teas to save on clean-up and disposal with other strainers.

I love smokey teas, non-bitter, not overly astringent, strong tea background mixed with flavored teas, no artificial sweetener tastes, balanced florals IF there must be a floral. I used to love spice, but it has to be done right. A former chai fan – now it reminds me of colored pencils. Cinnamon sounds good but so many teas have it artificial or odd tasting. Same goes for chocolate, some things have to be done just right to work.

Primary Tea Companies currently in 2022 – Harney and Sons, August Uncommon, Simpson & Vail, Fusion, Tea Spot, English Tea Store for odds and ends, The Tea Table

Most missed tea place and tea: Plum Brandy Cheesecake by Butiki

Very picky with anything Roobios, and Darjeeling/Oolong are hit or miss depending on the blend and my taste buds. Mint works in a mood but I’m not a big fan. Gravitate toward good name blends and fall themes when doing yet more sampler orders.

I like adding a cube of sugar to almost all teas, not usually milks. I don’t like stevia or any artificial sweetener taste. I adore honey, but to me it doesn’t suit tea unless I have a sore throat as both the tea and the honey change their flavor profile quite a bit if I mix them.
