drank Noble Monk's Blend by ESP Emporium
3226 tasting notes

Another tea from PaulMTracy! The aroma of this tea is quite good – it has a candy-fruit scent. But when sipped, the taste insisted, “I am a French tea!” There is such a mix of flavors in the tea, and they balanced them so well, that I really feel as though I am drinking a cup from Dammann Freres or Mariage Freres. The grenadine is balanced by the soft vanilla, and the tea base tastes so much like the base for some of the French teas I have tried – a tad astringent but not much, probably to balance with all the many flavors mixing here. A very enjoyable and social cup of tea! Thank you, Paul!

Sounds yummy. I’ve only tried one brand of Monk’s blend (Mlesna) — love it — but now I’ll have to broaden my horizons!

You’re welcome! I thought that was pretty interesting. I’ve never seen tea blossom/flowers listed and the grenadine was new for me.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
