French Friday! This sample was kindly provided by Dustin, so thank you!
Also using this as my Ode to Tea A entry, because as any respectable librarian knows, words like “a” “an” and “the” are never used in alphabetizing… and yes, that rule carries over to equivalents in foreign language titles!
Dry leaf smells like roses and cream! Rose has been a flavor I’ve been drinking (and enjoying!) a lot lately. Steeped 2.4g in 350ml 205F water for 3 minutes. Still get a strong rose aroma from the steeped tea, but the secondary aroma is citrus rather than cream. Because of the florality, the citrus is coming off less zingy/fruity and more akin to orange blossom.
The flavor is an orange/rose combo. The orange is a pithy/peel-like flavor with a bit of tang, and the rose is just that lovely sweet floral flavor that is probably perfumy to anyone but me. Not getting any of the “cream” which I picked up on the nose, but the cup is overall sweet for a black tea. The base is giving me some subtle warm bread and spice notes. Reminding me a bit of the Minnesota N’Ice tea I had during March Madness, if the jasmine were swapped for rose and the citrus were a little more gentle.
A very pleasant rose tea!

(I secretly have always wanted to be a librarian)
I’ve been a librarian for 17 years now! Started in Circulation, but I’ve done Technical Services for the majority now (Acquisitions for a few years, and now I’m a Cataloger). I really enjoy it!
We had a lengthy discussion at work this week about the necessity of our maintaining vendor files by vendor number because NOBODY knows how to alphabetize properly any more!
I once got my stepmom absolutely livid with me for “fixing” her DVDs by moving all the titles that started with “The” out of the T’s. She said she was going to come into my house and eff up my organization systems, and I was adamant that she should know the right one. It was ugly, haha.
haha – but as a librarian you just HAD to fix that. :D
