Oh my gosh, there is so much tea in my life that I may have to blog more often-it’s crazy!! It’s my birthday month and what better way to celebrate than with a ton of tea? Loose leaf, sachet, bags-I think I’m wearing my kettle out! My latest tea to try was tucked away in my Sips by box, but it is one I have really wanted to try: Paris by Harney Tea.
No accounting for taste
Have you ever noticed that sometimes a ton of people rave about something, recommend you try it but it’s nothing like what you think it will be. I was a little worried about that with Paris. It is such a hit on many tea sites. When I opened my package the aroma was amazing! It was a definite must try-no question. I put the kettle on.
Loose leaf and reusable tea bags
My packet of Paris came as a loose leaf tea. Also in my Sips by box were reusable and disposable tea bags that I could have used to put my tea in but as some (not all) of my teapots have infusers I decided to use my teaz teapot so I could share. I also have a variety of individual infusers if I had preferred some of the tea alone. Some people do not like dealing with loose tea and Paris also comes as sachets.
Ingredients
- Black tea
- Oolong tea
- Vanilla flavor
- Black currant flavor
- Bergamot oil
- Caramel flavor
- Contains natural flavors
Brewing instructions
As the package was loose tea the brewing directions were
One teaspoon for each cup of boiling water and brew for 5 minutes.
I measured mine out with the perfect spoon by David’s tea and ended up using the whole packet to make a pretty full pot.
How would you like it?
My top notch crew and I banded together. My hot tea drinking daughter and I added milk to our tea-my husband opted for almond milk. On our second cup I tried almond and he tried milk. These both brought out the wonderful flavors in the tea. Paris is thoroughly enjoyable, a definite re-purchase.
As always drink tea the way you like it-I like some plain, with milk or almond milk, sometimes a touch of honey or even sugar. Also drink the types of tea you prefer, either loose sachet or bagged. Loose tea is fun when you give it a try. Maybe next time I have some loose tea I’ll try one of those disposable tea bags -I’ll let you know how it goes.
Well I have also started to rave about Paris to all of my family and friends. It’s really worth a try. Another tea to add to my birthday list.
