drank Nuit à Versailles by Jardin du Thé
1501 tasting notes

I’m positive this is Dammann Frères, but bought it from Jardin du Thé so I’ll just leave it here. Too floral for me, little tiny bit of kiwi, but it’s all floral and bergamot-y, just a yuck on so many levels for me. Tried it, pretty sure I grabbed it for someone else, and will ship off the rest to the Canadian contingent for enjoying. Not a BAD tea, just not a tea for me.

Flavors: Bergamot, Flowers, Tropical

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Love seeing all the names of the teas you are getting a chance to try. If only I could understand the language to know what they are :)

Well, where it makes sense I translate the name (in this case it would only be sold as this name, but it’s “Night in Versailles”). The description I always translate, so you’ll get an idea as to what’s in it, etc. I often drink teas from different countries, with allergies I’ve found that Google Translate is my best friend. :)

I guess I hadn’t noticed that in your descriptions It was getting pretty late last night when I looked through some of the notes, probably just missed them.

Smart idea to use google, especially when you are traveling. I didn’t know they had a translate option, guess that’s probably normal for someone who lives in the Midwest and doesn’t travel much. Looks pretty cool. I’ll have to remember it when my son takes a language class in school.

Enjoy your travels and tea tasting and all the while.. Stay safe! Have fun!

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
