I got this tea thanks to LaFleurBleue, merci beaucoup :)
(by the way if anyone can help me by telling me how to manage to put some writing in bold here on Steepster I would be more than grateful – I really don’t see where to do this)
So merci beaucoup because it is really a very nice tea, very delicate, refined.
To me, basil is the main flavor but not overpowering, it’s just on the top of the other flavors : rose and peony. It’s like the cherry on the top of the cake, it sublimates the whole tea.
This is a mild tea, may be perfect for an evening.
This is my first Gryphon tea and I really appreciated it. However I liked the tea bag quality which is really high and all the information provided on the wrapping sachet (character, aroma,origin, tea pairing suggestions)
The flowers and basil seemed to be of highest quality.
Great tea.
This is just exquisite – I might have to review my line “don´t like flavoured whites”, because it seems if the flavouring is right, I do!
How peculiar that the pairing of a herb with a flower produces such fruity notes – like strawberry almost. Really lovely.
I drank this tea in a hotel at breakfast. It’s more an afternoon than a breakfast tea, in my opinion.
However I really liked it and when I asked for further information about it, I got 3 tea-bags of this Nymph of the Nile and 2 of the White Gingerlily of the same brand to bring home. In less than one week, I finished the Nymph of the Nile…
The color is a golden yellow. The roses give out a nice fragrance and most probably contribute to the sweet mellow taste. The basil leaves small pieces give a refreshing and slightly herbal taste.
Even when forgotten a few minutes more in the teapot, the tea does not turn very bitter.
I would definitely buy it, were it not always conditioned in mousseline bags and will probably try again drinking both white peony teas and teas from Gryphon, which make very high quality perfumed teas.
This delicate tea is highly focus on relaxing sensation.
It has beautiful light color with refreshing aroma. Just one sniff will make you forget a bad day, and want to spend your time enjoy this tea. The flavor is light, so when I have to choose my tea from the cupboard, I always end up pick something stronger.
I am not sure how others do it, but for me I simply put my words between asterisks and it shows up bold, such as bold
Sounds like an interesting tea!
ha! see it showed up bold just now! just simply add 2 asterisks in front and behind the word or sentence you want to make bold:)
thanks very much Hesper June
Yay I was so happy when someone taught me how to do that! :)
Almost read that as Nympho of the Nile, then thought, Who’d want a tea that’s been around?
Luckily I gave it a second glance.
lol, Geoffrey!
Ysaurella, thanks for this review. I’ve never had a tea with basil in it. Sounds interesting, I’ve added this to my (very long) shopping list. Plus I really like its name!
In addition to placing an asterisk on either side of text to make it bold, you can put an underscore on either side to italicise it, or put a dash/hyphen on either side to strike it through.
thank you all for your comments :)
