Mariage Frères Advent 2021 – Day 23
It’s flippin’ blue! Again! (arrrrrrrrrrrrgg….)
We’ve reached at least this level of blue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KK6sMo8NBY
The only flavour in this blend is the ghosts of citruses past. Ok, maybe I get the afterimage of grapefruit ginger over time. It’s faint. Very faint. Doesn’t the fantome de l’opera have a killer voice? The tea isn’t offensive but it’s not as dynamic or bright as I’d like either. DF has lush citrus flavouring and I’m sadly comparing.
Flavors: Citrus, Ginger, Grapefruit, Smooth
Advent Day 23
What a dirty rotten trick! Took this tea out and noticed the name didn’t contain any “In Love” in it, it’s labeled as a green and smelled slightly savory. Not a black, but at least it isn’t ANOTHER peaflower tea. Joke is on me! It steeped up blue! It’s peaflower in disguise! Is that what the name was about? Masking and hiding it’s true nature?
This tea is really light on the flavors. It tastes like a green tea with old ginger and orange peel. Like preserved orange peel, not a bright bold vibrant orange. Same with the ginger… or maybe it’s ginseng? I can’t tell. The blue teas reflect my mood about this advent all together, it leaves me feeling blue. It’s almost comical how blue tea heavy this advent is!
Fantome de L’Opera is actually a novel:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_of_the_Opera
My friend have seen a theatre play and says it is awesome, but that’s all I know about it.
They could’ve thrown in some glitter for a change.
lol, glittery Fantome.. It would be a twist on the tried and true ending at this point..
Your reaction to the blue mirrors my reaction when I saw my steeped cup. Whhhhhyyy.
I’ve never read the novel, but I did see the play and didn’t enjoy or get it at all… much like this tea!
Blue glitter perhaps? It could be like a fancy bathbomb turning the water blue and glittery.
And who wants to drink that? Gah.
Maybe if the tea is called Rainbow Dash & Twilight Sparkle’s Fun Bash Tea… I’d drink (once)! :P
I only ever heard the musical soundtrack. The book’s on my longlist.
My mind steers towards the name “Magic Pony Vomit” for a tea like that which makes me think of the time a tiny roommate of mine got car sick after eating a red and blue shaved ice! All we needed was glitter to make the disaster complete!
Oh, man… lol. “Magic Pony Vomit” is such a great name though. There was a tisane from David’sTea we nicknamed “Unicorn Vomit” (ie – Unicorn Dreams); I think it steeped purple-pink but don’t remember if it sparkled.. The concept exists!
Despite limited baggage space coming back from Europe I just HAD to get this tea because it smelled so good.
First thing I was struck by is the colour. It brews up an impressively dark blue-green that I was not expecting, especially considering a reasonably short steep time at 2 minutes. It is beautiful and I almost wish I had made it up in a glass teapot just to really get the full effect.
In terms of taste, this is a lovely ginger and citrus tea and is by no means unpleasant. That being said, I really would’ve like a bit more of a ginger kick. Then again, I think I do often find French teas kind of lacking in ginger even when it’s a prominent tasting note. I think I’m just looking for something that really delivers a strong ginger kick and I’m not looking in the right places.
Flavors: Citrus, Ginger, Grapefruit
I have been expecting this level of blue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc
I almost included that song too. It’s also mood perfect :P
Hahaha, Martin, that is exactly what first came to my mind, too!
Can you just imagine if the worst parts of the advents got together to make one extremely groan-worthy tea? I’m imagining one of these French green base butterfly pea flower blue teas covered in the gold luster dust… shudders
Nooooooo!!!! That’s the worst. Falls under the category “it’s so bad it’s good again.”
I feel like you guys got more blue teas than I did doing this advent last year. I remember soooo many of the blue ones were oolong teas and feeling like someone in their R&D department must have though they were so clever for making ‘blue tea’ (another name for oolong tea) that actually steeped blue. Bad tea puns.
Right?! Someone thought they were punny and got carried away. It is a neat effect. In moderation.
