additional notes: There has been talk of this one in the discussion thread, and yes, I still have some actual ATR Brioche that I decided to dig out and have a cup of and oh wow, the flavor is still so so good. It’s amazing really, as this is one of my oldest teas. I can never give up on these old teas. I’m noticing a pattern now: when a new year starts I like to start drinking my oldest teas, which means not many tasting notes from me but I’m still drinking away.

I have some left too. Somewhere. One day, I will find it.
We should have one of you do a side by side comparison with some of the other suggested replacements! I ordered some of the Teasmith’s Almond Biscotti, which Mastress Alita says is the same tea from a wholesale distributor. I can send out a sample when I get my order if you are up for it.
That would be awesome, Dustin. I suspect I would know how close it is without even having the original, but to be on the safe side, I will start poking around to see if I can track it down. Thanks to Mastress Alita, master sleuth, I’ve discovered that a Canadian shop carries it, or something very similar. I’ve put it on my list.
I feel like I’d know too, but it would be interesting to hear the review of a side by side comparison.
I got the shipping notice today. Hopefully it gets here soon!
They are probably from the same source. I actually have my Brioche mixed with a Teavana blend I was convinced was the same, and around the same age anyway. But harvests/flavorings might be different by now. Since “organic” is in the name, it really is a shock that there is any flavor left here at all.
Must have been either Almond Biscotti or Amandine Rose. Organic seems like such a loosely used term these days.
yep, Almond Biscotti!
