My other morning tea, which i sorely needed given how insane my week has been. I just need a day to breath and that just doesn’t seem to be happening lately. I also decided that i’m just going to drink and enjoy my teas and wave goodbye when favourites leave haha. :) Still one of my fav chocolate teas. Dark chocolate mousse indulgence.

Drool drool and drool some more!
Wow how have I never heard of this before

Sil

haha

BrewTEAlly Sweet

Where did you find this????

Sil

i did a swap with shmiracles, and then made my parents go get me another tin when they were in france haha

BrewTEAlly Sweet

Aw shoot! Worlds away!

Terri HarpLady

Yeah, if they go to france again, I want a tin too :)

MissB

I so wish there was an easier/cheaper way to get these to us tea fiends. There’s a French bakery here that will order it for me, however they want $35/100g.

OMGsrsly

Oh, is that the patisserie downtown? Have you been in, or just contacted them?

MissB

I’ve been in it, and they’ve got a lot of Mariage Frères in tins for sale, as well as just to drink in-store for a cup. They’ll order it in whenever they order another batch of tea, it just may take a while is all.

BrewTEAlly Sweet

Omg you’ve found a loophole!!!! :D

OMGsrsly

Ooo. I need to visit, maybe get some tea there. :) OH! Maybe this weekend since I’m downtown a lot. I could go for a walk/tea break.

MissB

They have a lot in stock, or did when I was there about a month ago. Only sell it in full tins though, or as a cup of hot tea to take with you. Ah, the chai that I can’t spell, Marco Polo, something Rouge all come to mind. All $35/100g. I’m blanking out on the name, but you know where I mean, right? There are way too many French patisseries in downtown Vancouver. This one is big, gorgeous, open a bit later, and just a few blocks up from Burrard Station.

BrewTEAlly Sweet

Take me to Vancouver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMGsrsly

I think I know which one. Across from the art gallery? Faubourg or something? $35/100g is super steep for the basics, tho. Wow.

MissB

Faubourg, that’s it! Yep, which is why I balked at grabbing anything when they told me the prices.

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
