I have way to many open teas in my house. I have been trying to drink the open ones before I open the new ones. But I need variety. So I decided to give this one a try, it sounds (and smells) delicious.
The dry and brewed tea smell like sweet candied citrus. Like sweet grapefruit. The tea also tastes delicious. There is citrus tastes of both grapefruit and orange. It is sweet and not tart or sour. The marigold really blends well with the citrus and also dampens it a bit so it is not tart or overly sweet, and it tastes very smooth. I can taste the smooth black tea base but it is not overpowering. It is not very strong so seems like a good afternoon blend, but I am sure it would be good any time of the day.
Very good blend. But I think all Nina’s Paris blends are great. I haven’t had a bad one yet. Someone made a comment in a post or in a tasting not talking about how good teas from Paris are. I agree.
Edit: So having this again today because it is sooooo good. I started thinking today, this is not so much grapefruit/orange. So I looked on the package and the package says Ma Passion with ingredients of apricot, peach and vanilla. Now I don’t think that is right because I am definitely not tasting that. So I looked it up on the Nina’s Paris site and it says it is flavoured to be passionfruit but I cant find any ingredients. It definitely tastes like passionfruit today. I wonder if that was the citrus I was tasting yesterday that I confused for sweet grapefruit. It could have been power of suggestion that I thought grapefruit as that is what the steepster description says. Whatever the ingredients, it is delicious.
