From Murchie's Tea & Coffee

Murchie’s Paris Afternoon Tea is a beguiling blend of black and green teas with hints of caramel and brioche, with a malty finish.

Traditional Ceylon, Keemun, Assam and Yunnan black teas form a well-rounded base, while Himalayan and Gunpowder teas add a light sparkle to the flavour and aroma. This is a great tea for people who want explore green-black blends without Jasmine.

Designed to evoke and an afternoon up of tea at a sunny outdoor cafe next to the Seine river in Paris: the city of light. Perfect for daydreaming and people-watching!

Ingredients: Black tea (Assam, Ceylon, Keemun, Yunnan, Darjeeling), green tea (gunpowder), natural and artificial flavouring

Loose Tea Ingredients: Black tea (Assam, Ceylon, Keemun, Yunnan, Nepal), green tea (gunpowder), natural and artificial flavouring

From Cameron B!  Thanks again!  I can’t complain about the lack of strength to this black tea!  It’s a kicker.  It tastes like a mix of Ceylon and Assam.  Might be TOO strong for afternoon… but I don’t think I have that problem.  Then there is a nice sweetness to it, with a maple flavor.  I definitely think this is more of a breakfast tea. I forgot there was green tea included here… I didn’t notice it.

I don’t associate maple with Paris, but this sounds delicious!

Hopefully it was the right tea, because I don’t remember it being that strong LOL!

Need to get back into sampling more of my Murchie’s purchases!

This one is nice enough. It mostly tastes like a black tea, but with a much lighter body. Not watery, but just not as heavy overall. The flavoring is buttery, which makes sense given the brioche descriptor. It also reminds me a bit of toasted pecans. I don’t really taste caramel at all. The buttery flavor and light nuttiness make this remind me of Almond Sugar Cookie from Simpson & Vail. It’s not really sweet though, it leans more bready or croissant-y.

I like it, but I don’t think I need it in my cupboard, and I prefer the somewhat similar Canada 150 blend (which has maple instead of this brioche flavor).

I bought this tea because I’m always looking for an afternoon tea that is black, but not super caffeinated. This was really lovely! It tastes better than some of the higher-end teas of the same ilk.

This is a black tea and a green tea blend, and sometimes the tea can feel very separate, but in this case, they suited each other very well and worked well. The tea is sweet, but has a nice caramel base with lots of toffee flavour. I like it just below boiling and brew it a little more like green tea though it’s also lovely (and still very flavourful) when it’s gone cold as well.

It’s sweet, sort of buttery, but not oily and just feels like a very sophisticated tea. I’ll have to come back for more.

Good combination of green and black tea flavour. This is a simple blend but the flavours go together quite well and it tastes like a good quality tea.
