Mmm. Yeah, it’s almost 4am and I’ve been up since 3. I’ve made pasta, played with the cats, and almost finished a giant mug of tea.
This is what happens when you crash at 5pm and are sleeping by 6. I even slept in yesterday.
Anyways, the tea is delicious. I got a rose bud and a jasmine flower in my cup today. I understand why Sil has problems with these teas. They all have so many freakin flowers in them! Still, it tastes like almond cake, almost. I like this tea more every time I have it. So glad I was able to find it. :)
Maybe I’ll try to nap or zone out till it’s actually time to get up. It’s tempting to sew, but I don’t want to bother the nice neighbour too much.

Heh. I’ve been avoiding them when I scoop out tea, but didn’t want to end up with a tin of rose buds. That doesn’t sound very tasty to me.
I don’t find that they add that much to the flavour, unless they provide a bit of the initial note I get of Turkish delight from this tea, before it becomes cake!
Hmm. Maybe! I didn’t get a lot of rose or jasmine from this one, but the flowers still scared me. :) I’m not used to whole rose buds in my tea.
Hmmmmmmmm – I don’t even want flowers for decorations, I’m starting to get really scared at how much Fauchon tea I have in my house. I understand French teas with be perfumey but if they are all LOADED with flowers….
Of the three that I have, this one is the “worst” but doesn’t really taste of them. I think the flowers are decoration (Peche et Thym has peach bits, Evening in France has pink rose petals and yellow something petals). They’re easy enough to avoid when spooning out the tea!
LOL ok – I’m down with that, but will let you go first, help me avoid the worst of them. I actually think I will be ok with Naissance but a little scared of the fruit ones…
Funnily i don’t even find many of those Fauchon teas that floral or perfumey. Guess I’m just made for French teas.
I don’t mind flowers….for decoration ;)
