I had surprise mail from gmathis yesterday and it contained a generous sample of this tea! (Where do you get those pouches for the tea? Much nicer than what I use.)
It was drizzly and completely overcast all morning and I got up rather early, so I decided not to wait but to have this for breakfast. I have read on aromatherapy sites that orange and citrus scents are the best for battling depression and lifting mood, and today’s weather is a real mood squasher – although the slight cooling is welcome.Oh my goodness, the dry leaves smell amazing! This was definitely the right choice for today!
The steeped tea smells equally delicious and the taste is reminiscent of Nina’s Fete de Versailles. Bright citrus but not an astringent base tea, all made lightly creamy by a hint of vanilla. This goes on the “gotta find it” list.
Thank you, gmathis!

That sounds wonderful! Going to add it to my “gotta find it” list now. hehe
Those little foil pouches were gifted to me, so I don’t have a clue.
Hmm, now I too will put this on my “gotta find it” list. gmathis where does this tea come from?
A little hard to find on shelves; husband ordered my stock from Amazon, or you might check the Basilur website.
Or ask me and I might get it and then I could resend it to the US :)
Not sure if price-worth, though. But I can get most of the Basilur teas :)
Thank you for the offer, Martin! I was able to find it online and plan to order some when (if) I accomplish a little more cupboard clearing. (She says with a Harney order due to arrive today and some Teavivre still in transit…)
Belated sourcing note—I was incorrect. My tins came from a third party seller via walmart.com.
Gmathis – Good to know! We finished it yesterday for breakfast!
