An elegant association of black tea from China and Sri Lanka, citrus fruit, flowers, sweet spices and vanilla. A tasty blending, sweet and delicate Ladurée’s signature.
Company description not available.
Sweet and floral but with the full body of black tea, the notes of caramel and cinnamon are very subtle but works with the main notes of rose, bergamot and orange to make a blend which is classically Ladurée. Ladurée provides high quality, well blended tea. I been through quite a few boxes of this and I’ve yet to experience any bitter after taste. Kudos to the company for thinking about their quality and putting their teas in woven tea bags, and not plastic ‘tea temples’ as the plastic leaches toxins into your tea. One of the most delicate black teas I’ve ever tasted, unrivalled with anything else I’ve ever tried. Definitely one of the most delicate teas I’ve tasted
Flavors: Bergamot, Caramel, Orange, Rose
MissB sent this one my way. I’ve never heard of this company before her treats arrived so i brewed this up with no expectation of what to expect and didn’t look at what was even in it. First off, these are great little muslin tea bags. I’m a fan. Secondly…
OMG THE TEA! Another tasting note called this similar to an Earl Grey. If THIS was what all EG’s were like, i’d welcome EG’s in to my heart with open arms. But they’re not. I wouldn’t call this an EG myself – i don’t get that awful blergamot taste. Instead this is a seriously deliciate citrus, spice tea with what appears to be vanilla (according to the website) that makes it just a deliciously smooth amazing cup of tea. So much so that i resteeped the tea bag a second time because i didn’t want it to be finished. drool.
Now i have ANOTHER company on my list to try that i have no access to. le sigh thank you so much MissB!!
This is a perfect tasting note. Plus you had not heard of Ladurée!!! OMG. I would totally have a Ladurée room off my kitchen, all done up to look like a mini version of one of their stores. LadurSILée!
There’s a rumour that they are considering CDN location Sil:-)
Mean while they just opened a tea salon in New York.
I don’t need to know this.
boychik – sorry lol
yyz – ooooh yay for that~ also, another reason to go to new york!
Anna – noms!
Here’s a link to their menu. The tea list is towards the bottom.https://locu.com/places/laduree-soho-new-york-us/#menu
I’ve never heard of them either! Now I want to know more.
I’ve got another one to try from MissB, so maybe tomorrow i’ll pull that one out.
Sounds great!
I’ll have to post pictures of the one in London to Facebook; it’s amazing, it’s adorable, and their macarons are almost as good as their tea. Plus, it’s not terribly expensive either.
ALL, like literally ALL my younger friends know of Ladurée from Gossip Girl. This is typical (and please enjoy the fact that she talks about a COLOR PALATE!!! AAAH! Reverse madness!): http://www.iamnotastalker.com/2013/07/16/ladure-from-gossip-girl/
Argh I was just reminded that I forgot to go to Ladurée when I was in NYC!! I looooooove Ladurée, mostly for their macarons. I have always considered trying their tea (I even looked at their teas in their store in Brussels last year) but have never taken the plunge. Guess I should.
Dinosara – bummer. When i try the other one that MissB sent (it’s green) i’ll have a better idea, but they feel to me like they’d be up your alley heh.
Yeah, I’m sure they would be. Of course they are one of the 100g at a time French teas so it’s hard to make the first plunge.
Nope, not 100G at all! (Sorry for the late reply). I grabbed my two tins (paper enclosures, hard to explain) with I think 25 tea bags each in them. Having said that, I had to find a store to grab them in this size, and specifically ask for bags, not loose. I’m definitely grabbing more when I go back.
Heh I ended up buying a “tin” when I was there of the loose leaf
Good to know. I’ve actually only ever looked at teas in their store in Brussels, and then it seemed to be a standard 100g arrangement (I didn’t see any bags). When I finally get to the one in NYC I’ll have to see what kind of tea arrangment they have here.
This blend is like an Earl Grey, but softer and gentler, where you get citrus flavor without the least bit of bitterness or astringency. For having a strong citrus flavor, it’s remarkably smooth and delicate, perfect during months of colder weather. In the US, you can only order this tea by calling Laduree in NYC.
