I have the chance to taste this lovely tea thanks to TheTeaFairy
I waited ages before having it but here I am and I love it.
The scent of the liquor was appealing to me, the kind of smell I recognize as a tea I would surely like…something delicate and floral.
Tasting it, it is clearly a citrusy with floral notes straight tea.More on citrus notes to me.
It has a light astringency in mouth and on the aftertaste but the kind of pleasant astringency offering a real personality to a blend.
I am often reticent to drink Darjeelings because I often had some unpleasant astringency with the ones I have had.This one is absolutely different and makes me change my mind.
Thank you so much TheTeaFairy for sharing one of your favourite teas with me !

Ysaurella – ill have to try this one as I think I’ve experienced the same thing you have with a lot of darjeelings. I’m actually having a Darjeeling day…well part of today will be darjeelings just to try the few that are in my cupboard I keep avoiding heh
Sil I may be wrong but I think you’ll like it.
Ha! So happy there was one in the bunch you really liked :-) The fact that I liked almost all the French teas you sent me made me feel guilty, lol! But I so don’t blame you, David’s tea and Mariage Frères just can’t compare! But I’m more confident in the other brands I sent, especially the plain ones such as this one!
don’t worry there are some I liked very much (but yes especially the unflavoured ones)
Moreover I am less attracted by flavoured teas now and for the flavoured I tend to really prefer European Blends to North American ones.And thanks to you I bought oriental beauty of BT after reading your review about an oriental beauty blend a friend offered you.
