and as I am thinking about it, I don’t like darjeeling, that could also be it.

@BrookeM – I feel similar to you, perhaps, about Darjeeling teas. They tend to have kind of sharp, rough edges, and make me pucker up, which I don’t like. It’s that — the astringency — that I dislike generally. And most bitterness.

I don’t love this blend. It alchemically misses. Like a play that has really good actors but is just not enjoyable.

This tea is nice, not special or great.

Is this made with that Rooibos stuff? A blend isn’t Rooibos and black tea maybe? Haven’t tried that one. Bit leery.

good instincts, I resort to it only if I have to, in other words only if my herbalist tells me my adrenals are running at 50%.

I just Love this tea. Pure, simple and smoothe. It really tastes like all the ingredients are really high quality.

I’ve gotta try this one…

This is the most wonderful tea I have ever tried. I keep ordering others from Le Mariage Freres but none taste like heaven as much as this delicately perfumed magical tea.

Everyone is oohing and aahing over this tea. I am dying to taste it. Would you consider a swap of a small sample by mail? You could look in my tea cupboard and see if there’s anything(s) in there that you’d like to try.

I have just fallen in love with drinking tea. I just think it is so very precious and I am having such fun exploring all the different wonderful possibilities. I am a psychotherapist, dancer, meditator, that has of late been experiencing tons of pleasure in nature; tea drinking included. I am grateful for this precious Earth of ours, and tea is just the most perfect of her treasures. I am also grateful for the people who have lovingly cultivated this treasure so we may enjoy it. I also love this site.
