drank L'Abricot by Fauchon
150 tasting notes

Good Morning first day of vacation (this was yesterday of course.)

I decided to start my day off very French.

At first sniff: Juicy, succulent apricot fills my nose, in a very fruit way. It’s not the fake smell of apricot or peach that one might be use to. Nope, this is the real deal. I find the apricot is marrying with the black tea and I smell it in the background. It’s delicious. I will say, apricots are not my favourite fruit and I find sometimes I am downright disappointed when I eat the real thing, but this tea smells amazing

At first steep: This brews up as a nice strong black tea in the carafe. The smell of apricots fills my kitchen. I added cream and sugar to this one today and it tasted extremely fruity, but in that subtle way. I do like this tea quite a bit and will enjoy the 100g I was lucky enough to score when there was Fauchon in Canada.

Bio

My passion for tea started at a very young age, thanks to my grandmothers beautiful china tea cup collection. I use to brew Tetley’s or whatever version of Orange Pekoe she had in the cupboard and pick out my favourite tea cup to use. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I really started to develop a passion for it. My town had the Urban Tea Merchant and it was there I was exposed to high tea and the very fancy Mariage Freres brand. When they switched over to The O Dor, my girlfriend and I found salvation in going for a lovely cup of tea and decompress with some tea scones.

It has since become an obsession. I have a tea cupboard, filled with a very large variety of teas. I also use the Breville Tea Maker to make my tea. I favour black teas, with a close second being North African Mint Green Tea. Because I have the luxury of working from home, I get to enjoy a wonderful cup of tea every morning, and the journey resets daily.
