Cameron B. drank L'Herboriste N°46 Relaxation by Palais des Thés

4320 tasting notes

Palais des Thés Advent Calendar – Day 20 (from November backlog)

Oops, forgot to post this last night…

Ooh, this sounds nice. I have an apple cinnamon chamomile blend from another company that I really enjoy, so I’m optimistic.

The apple and spice part is very subtle here. Mostly I taste chamomile, which I do enjoy so it’s not a bad thing. There’s a slight apply hint in the background, along with perhaps a bit of added sweetness. It also adds a tart taste to the end of the sip. Honestly I’m not detecting any spice at all…

This is tasty and very relaxing for the evening, but mostly it’s a chamomile tea with a hint of apple so not terribly special. But yummy!

Flavors: Apple, Floral, Honey, Sweet, Tart

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 6 min, 0 sec 8 OZ / 236 ML

Chamomile and apple do go nicely together. I am still grousing that Celestial Seasonings pulled their Sweet Apple Chamomile.

I love Stash’s Apple Cinnamon Chamomile, mostly because all traces of chamomile (a flavor I don’t like) are completely drowned out by the hibiscus base (a flavor I do like… so much so I always double-bag it cause I like a really strong cuppa when I make it). I imagine no one else here would like it.

Bio

Hi, I’m Cameron!

I’m a 30-something software engineer currently living in Austin, Texas with my husband and our two pugs, Gobo and Ume. I tend to cycle between my different hobbies, and they include piano, knitting, video games, board games, miniature painting, planners, bento, Korean skincare, and – of course – TEA! But really, what I’m best at is “collecting” hobby-related things… ;)

~ 2025 SIPDOWN CHALLENGE! ~
- January sipdowns: 34
- Total 2025 sipdowns: 34

I prefer my tea lukewarm or at room temperature and without milk or sugar. I steep Western style, and fluctuate between using big mugs or small teapots depending on the season.

I am always up for a swap! Just let me know if you’d like to try something in my cupboard.

Tea Preferences:
I enjoy both flavored and unflavored teas in many forms. These days, I drink mostly flavored teas, and I tend to gravitate most toward black, green, oolong, and herbal varieties. I do have a special fondness for straight Japanese green teas, however.

I do not sweeten my teas, and pre-sweetened teas are usually too sweet for me. I also do not enjoy stevia (or monkfruit, etc.).

I tend to reach for fruitier flavors rather than desserty ones these days, but I do have favorites from both categories. Willing to try anything once! There are a few ingredients/flavors that aren’t generally my jam, such as coconut, rose, lavender, and chocolate flavoring. But I also have teas that I love with some of those things, too! :)

Favorite Companies:
3 Leaf
Bird & Blend
Dammann Frères
Harney & Sons
Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms
Lupicia
Old Barrel Tea Co
Simpson & Vail
Taiwan Tea Crafts
TeaVivre

Tea Rating Scale:
90-100: Outstanding! Permanent cupboard resident
80-89: Great – a possible staple
70-79: Good, but I wouldn’t buy it
60-69: It’s decent
50-59: Meh… I may or may not have finished the cup
40-49: Ick. Couldn’t finish it.
00-39: Repulsive, I spat it out

I will sometimes refrain from rating a tea if I feel I’m too biased due to my personal dislikes, or if I suspect the sample has been compromised by age or scent contamination.
