Mariage Frères

I´m not 100% sure this is the cardomome black tea I´m having these days, as I actually bought it quite some time ago, in an independent tea shop in France, by the weight, so I only have the aspect and name to guide me.
I´m decided to finish the loose tea I have been “stockpiling” the last few years, and this one was kept in a closed tin, so there´s actually still some nice aroma´s (the sweet touch of the cardamon) to be observed. Once steeped, the strength of the black tea is complemented by a subtle but enjoyable cardamome (sweet, nutty) flavour.
Nice as a late morning drink, nowadays – in corona lockdown times – when I return home from my permitted morning walk .

A beautiful one. I love this tea.

Nope, the green and black Marco Polo are far superior.

Shmeh. The name was more exciting than the tea.

I prefer this to the Marco Polo black tea.

A more floral orange blossom (traditonal) rather than citrusy. I actually prefer citrusy but this is lovely too.

Sweet gentle and minty

Just an average Jasmin. Nothing super exciting here.

Always a lovely gentle classic choice when I visit Paris

Very underwhelming.

I love this tea so much. Sweet Malty breakfast tea.

beautiful Lung Jing.

A beautiful Gen Mai Cha.

I’m just not a fan of black tea and mango.

Love this one.

I get the feeling this is from the Uji provence. It’s not noted on the tin though. A high ceremonial grade with a slight astringency.

Eh.

A beautiful natural vanilla tea. Not sickly sweet, just fresh

A decent good quality rooibos.

This is a great black tea that tastes like sweet licorice and marshmallow [in a sense.] It’s my favorite MF tea so far. I was surprised there are no reviews for it yet.
