TEAS TO QUENCH YOUR THIRST & CLICKS TO PLEASE YOUR EYES
Here are a few quality Le Palais Des Thés (look in my blogroll for the link to their site) tea blends which I highly recommend you to try. They are so refreshing, intoxicating and enjoyable. Perfect for drinking in the morning (Thés Des Sources & Thé Des Sables), in the afternoon (Darjeeling) or in the evening, after dinner (Blue Of London) or for making ambrosial ice teas and luscious baked goods.
Whole leaf black tea from Yunnan delicately aromatised with bergamot from Calabria.
A refined, heavenly, fresh and well-balanced blend that is exceptional.
One of my favorite Earl Grey teas ever!
Thé Des Sables
Whole leaf green tea flavored with the famous Damas rose, grown on the slopes of the Atlas mountains, and exotic fruits such as mango, yellow peach and citrus fruits which giving it a unique flavour of petal jelly.
A fresh and sensual tea blend inspired by a trip to Morocco.
Thés Des Sources
Whole leaf green tea combined with bergamot and mint leaves as well as rose and cornflower petals.
Intensely refreshing and floral.
Thé Aux 7 Agrumes
Darjeeling tea fragranced with natural extracts of lemon, lime, sweet orange, bitter orange, grapefruit, bergamot and mandarin.
An outstandingly fresh and citrusy blend.

ReplyDeleteUne ballade au pays des thés, des sculptures et la nature. J'ai beaucoup de mal à me décider entre le thé des Sables et ses parfums exotiques et l'acidulé de celui aux 7 agrumes.
