1800 Tasting Notes
Advent from Dustin Day 7
Mmmmm. A chocolate tea done right. The base is malty and rich, with notes of raisins and baked bread. The chocolate is more in the aftertaste and works extremely well with the aforementioned notes.
Flavors: Bread, Dark Chocolate, Malt, Raisins

Very excited to try this one! I love candied orange notes in teas. Added a bit of honey. Smells strongly of orange. Tastes like orange. This isn’t bad, it’s just not candied. It’s more of a sweet orange. A bit of drying bitterness in the aftertaste.

Brewed this for my boyfriend, as I just recently re-visited it and didn’t love it as much as I remembered. He wasn’t a huge fan either. Took a few sips to refresh my memory- there just seems to be something a bit bitter and drying from the pecans that isn’t working for me.

This tin is so cute! Definitely a pleasant little surprise this morning. Both the dry leaf and the brewed cup have a strong nectarine aroma- which I love. The hibiscus is appropriate here, so I’m not mad at it. The tartness works quite well with the tropical fruit. The nectarine I was smelling is mango- like a mango Hi-Chew. This would definitely be delicious iced.

A new to me brand and tea! Smells like cake batter. Tastes like white cake, caramel, and bit of orange. As it cools, the light orange becomes a candied orange peel. Absolutely love this tea, and will happily repurchase.
Flavors: Cake, Caramel, Orange
Fauchon ❤
omg sounds fabulous
Unfortunately Fauchon teas are difficult to come by outside of France, but I wish you the best of luck! ❤
I just had a cup of this yesterday. It’s really grown on me.
I think we need to figure out which of us will be in Paris next and send them to the Fauchon store with a list for a group order! And knowing our tea consumption as a group, we’d have to pay for an extra suitcase for the return flight!
Cameron- cries Just my luck.
Dustin- Thank you so much for sharing, it’s wonderful. I love that idea! We certainly would need an extra suitcase.
It seems it is possible to order it within Europe, shipping for 12,90 €. Quite pricy shipping.
Oh sorry everyone; I haven’t checked the details. So shipping to me would be 17,00 € for less than 3kg package; 19,00 € for parcel 3-10 kg. I don’t think it would be heavier, but just in case, >10 kg it’s 30,00 €. No orders of macarons though :(
This sounds amazing.
@Martin- Not too bad if split between a few people. I wonder if anyone would be interested in a group order?
I bet there will be people interested but I guess it will be after holidays the soonest :D

(backlog from yesterday)
Yay! Very happy to see this, as I really loved the sample I tried last week. This is just as good, if not better, than the first cup. Definitely something I will be repurchasing.
Found a teabag of this in my collection, and decided to bring it to work to add to the sip down pile there. Tried it yesterday, and it definitely does not taste like a white tea. Tastes like a pretty generic peppermint herbal tea. While it was fine, I have plenty of other peppermint teas in the collection that are much better.
I’m sorry your tea was gross, but this note gave me a good laugh! Your description is so … specific. :D
Lol. I’m glad I gave you a laugh!
