Courtney drank Ombrelle de Papier by Camellia Sinensis

1400 tasting notes

I picked up a sample of this one with my order and the scent is quite intense. The other teas all had to be ‘aired out’ when I opened the post box because the scent of this tea had permeated everything.

The rhubarb is apparent, and hints of strawberry, but the remaining flavours get lost. It has that fruity mix scent that fruity teas often get, but I don’t know if I can pull a lot of other flavours out.

Preparation

170 °F / 76 °C 6 min, 0 sec 3 g 14 OZ / 414 ML

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
