With the taste of delicate french cream and rich indian black tea, this is our perfect version of a simple pleasure. Blended with premium black tea and vanilla bits, this tea will take you anywhere you’d like to go. We suggest a tiny ivy covered balcony in Paris. Tres chic.

Still around just not a lot of variety in the cupboard these days. I miss the types of tea shops that were around like 3-4 yrs ago. Most either don’t shop to canada without paying a billion dollars for shipping or they are “local” and have stevia in every blend. My US tea mule is moving across the country in a few weeks and let’s be honest, the border isn’t really open. sigh just depressing really lol
I would say that Teavivire is still the best place to get tea shipped to Canada from China. It’s been awhile since I’ve ordered though because I haven’t been drinking much tea lately which is why my stash is so big at the moment.
I love teavivre and yunnan sourcing for straight teas….i’m seriously lacking in flavoured though :(
A friend shipped me stuff from Silk Road as it’s cheaper for her to ship it to me than it is for me to buy it. It also made a great Christmas gift.
Miss you, Sil.
Also, the gazillion dollars in shipping and exchange charges etc. seem to be rising, so there’s that.
I feel like this shift to stevia happened mostly in just the past couple of years, too, so it caught me off guard – like it was gradual and then suddenly all at once. Sorry that getting flavored teas has gotten so hard, that sucks. :-(
Hi Sil! You talked to Terri lately? I miss both you guys on here.
I tried this tea a long time ago because I was trying to replicate Harney & Sons ‘Paris’ tea. This is nothing like that. So I’m reviewing it again because a) I wasn’t on Steepster when I had it the 1st time and b) I want to give it an honest chance.
Aroma both dry and steeped is very vanilla-y. I’m having it black, but I suspect this would be good for a latte. A friend passed by my desk and I asked her to smell the steeped tea. She said it smelled like a pastry, which to me seems like a good thing. ;) The taste is definitely bold because it’s a black tea. The vanilla is very pronounced and there is no nasty lingering aftertaste. Much better than I remember this tea being.
Flavors: Cream, Vanilla
