What a lovely surprise, this one!
I was worried it would be another boring Ear Grey variation, it’s definitely not.
First of all – the SMELL. Oh my, the smell. I could smell like that myself. Where can I buy such perfume? This is splendid. You can feel the bergamot, the orange, the peach (!), rose, lychee (?). The smell is overpowering, I finished drinking this tea in the morning, it’s now 9PM, and I am still sitting here sniffing the sample bag like some sort of addict.
The tea tastes great, but I suggest brewing it rather shorter, than longer. Anything longer than 2,5 min will leave you with a very strong black tea and all the aromas will be killed, I’m afraid. If you have it ‘weaker’, you will be able to appreciate the whole palette. The third brewing was my favourite one, actually.
I believe this can be a love it or hate it kind of tea, but for me it’s love.
Speak to you all later, I need to run and buy more!

Love this one. The name scared me because generally “French” means lavender, of which I am not a fan. But it’s not that at all! :D
So true! Even the colour of the sample bag is lavender, which confused me as well, I expected it to be very lavender-y and luckily it’s not!
