I noticed there was two pages for this tea. I figured I would go with this one as it is the only one with a tasting note on it.
Anyways, this is another from my awesome swap package with Dexter3657. She was such a sweetheart and included a fair bit of different French teas for me to try. And after the success I had with Naissance, I decided to try another Fauchon.
I am noticing these teas are very potent when it comes to smell. Honestly they smell amazing. However, the taste of mango in this cup is quite subtle and only creeps in right at the end of the sip. Mostly this is a black tea. Subtlety isn’t always a bad thing, I just wish the taste was more closely akin to the deliciously strong mango smell. With that said, I don’t imagine it being too hard to get through the rest of the sample. Thank you Dexter3657 for the opportunity to try some companies that I might not be able to try otherwise (without paying an arm and a leg in shipping).

I find the fruity French teas are more “scented” than “flavored” – at least that’s what it seems to me. Does that make sense, it’s like all the “flavor” is experienced through smell…. not sure I’m explaining it correctly – or even if that is correct – but that’s how they seem to me.
I definitely get what you are saying and find that to be true in most cases. It is pleasant every now and again but most of the time I find myself wanting more of the actual flavor.
