additional notes: I usually crave this flavor profile once a year, it’s usually this month, and then trying to think of what tea it is, I realize it’s a NOEL tea, meaning appropriate for the month! This isn’t my favorite DF Noel tea but a nice flavor profile to have a little bit in stock… it’s like boozy cherry. (That pairs well with Lupicia’s Marron Chocolat that I’m having also.) I’m very grateful for that Steepster group order years ago! I was able to try so many DF teas and honestly haven’t written tasting notes for a few of them yet. These 25gram amounts are now reaching the bottom, so I definitely want to order from DF, probably next year… or the year after that….

Love the Noël teas! I have Provence and Saint-Pétersbourg right now, but honestly I think I’ve liked almost all of them. :3

YES Prague and Venise are my favorites but I certainly haven’t tried them all. :D

Cameron B.

Ooooh yeah Venise with the lemon cream. I don’t remember Prague, is that the prune one?

tea-sipper

Yep, Prague is the rummy dark prune one.

Cameron B.

NOM. Stop making me want them all, you foul temptress! XD

tea-sipper

haha, sorry!! I really wish DF would sell them in smaller amounts..

Cameron B.

Well we can do a group order or something next year…

I would be interested in that, I have never tried French teas due to the shipping + 100g packages (I never need 100g of any single tea for myself and tend to avoid those companies that won’t offer smaller sizes…)

Cameron B.

I agree, the 100g size is the biggest problem for me. I’m willing to swallow the high shipping and make a big order but then it’s just so much tea that I will never finish!

Dustin

Small samples and variety is why I love using advents to try new tea companies! I’m not a fan of DF, but I do love French teas. If y’all do a Theodor group order, I’d be in!

Second vote for group order…..they have so many teas I want to try, but I haven’t ordered yet due to the sizes.

Martin Bednář

That sounds like a good idea to make a group order :) Maybe it could be cheaper sending all the tea to me and me sending it across the pond then? I should do something else in that time than distributing the tea *roll eyes

I would be interested in a group order next year if the teas could be split into smaller amounts.

Cameron B.

Totally, we’ll have to figure out a time frame that works for everyone. :)

My icon photo is Richard Mayhew from the graphic novel ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey & Glenn Fabry.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
