The tea smells of flowers and figs. However, it falls short of the anticipated lavender essence that a tea named “Provence” would suggest.
On the palate, the flavour hints at a distant echo of “Noël à Prague” black tea (plum black tea), but with a more muted profile that feels somewhat drab. Despite a four-minute steep, even the tea leaves remain lackluster.
This blend may not find its way into my shopping cart again. It’s good but I’ll stick with other, more preferred options.

I’m a curious person, I always love to discover new things, new teas, new brands.
I’ve tried several things from David’s Tea as it is the most accessible tea store in Montréal and that there is no minimum amount when buying in bulk. I’ve also tried a few teas from Camellia Sinensis and Kusmi, but their minimum amount makes me try less things.
I would really like to try new brands, especially French brands such as Mariage Frères, Dammann Frères, le Palais des thés and Fauchon. There’s also a lovely tea store in Québec city called «Monsieur T» that I would like to try.
