My brother went to France several months back, so I requested he pick up some Fauchon tea for me, but when he got there his friend’s family scoffed at the idea of letting him buy grocery store brand tea, like Fauchon and took him to Marriage Freres instead. It worked out just fine for me, but the perception that Fauchon is mere grocery store tea when here in the US we are gleeful to get our lustful little hands on it is pretty amusing contrast.
Such an intense floral mix dominated by rose in this tea! I’m surprised that I didn’t break it out at all this summer for some cold steep! I’m not sure what my summer obsession tea was this year, but I’m glad that this one is holding up.
