I have a friend who is in Paris RIGHT NOW and isn’t interested in tea shopping. It’s kind of killing me. I’d love to go back to Fauchon. I’d probably skip restocking this tea as I’m finally sipping it down now. There was more than one serving of tea left in the bag, but less than two so I dumped it all in my steeper and that was a mistake. I thought that steeping for only a minute would counter the overleafing, but it really didn’t. This cup is strong and perfumy. It has that tang that some fresh roses get and it’s overwhelming. It’s very heavy on the rose in both the sip and the finish which lingers a looooong time. This isn’t a very good send off for this tea, but at least it’s a sip down!

There are several Fauchon teas I would like to try someday! Maybe your friend will get you some tea as a souvenir!
I wish! It’s hard to get non tea people to go tea shopping for you. I asked my brother once to pick up some Fauchon for me and someone talked him into Mariage Freres instead. I can order and find MF here, but I can’t do either with Fauchon.
Have you seen this old Steepster post about finding Fouchon tea?

It might be out of date, but maybe it could help. :)
I did find some at TJMaxx all those years ago, but I think it was a one time buy out from someone who was trying to sell Fauchon and then put it on clearance. I’ve never seen it there again.
Sorry, I didn’t read that whole post and didn’t realize you’d contributed. Too bad it isn’t available anymore.
It’s too bad they only deliver in Europe. This would have been a good group buy opportunity.
Can do a group buy next year (from February, approx.), but certainly not right now.
I was in Ireland for a week last month and looked into buying online from Lupicia and Fauchon, but I wasn’t sure if they would arrive before I left and Fauchon doesn’t have much of their tea up on their website.
