I’m a little tired and I need to open a new box of contacts. How I know this? As I squinted at my profile just now, I read, ‘All pets are off’ and wondered what the hell whoever had written it meant by that. Those poor smelly pets. Anyway, this is today’s second batch of Thé …

Thé du Hammam – Palais des Thés
Today’s tasting notes are going to be wildly unoriginal, as I’ve only had one tea, in two incarnations. This is the first. Hot in spite of the weather, as I had it for breakfast and hot tea really does make more sense for breakfast no matter the weather, in my opinion. I was going to …
Thé du Hammam Rooibos – Palais des Thés
I’ve been working most of the weekend, so I figured I’d take some time off before bed and watch a movie and drink a cup of tea. In terms of the tea, I’m trying to be a good decaffeinated Anna and drink my rooibos. I chose this, because it’s so luxurious and smooth and always …
La Poire – Palais des Thés
There isn’t that much left of this. I will absolutely try to remember to try it iced before the rest of it disappears. I was so sure I’d feel like putting together a huge Lupicia order for my birthday, since I’ll be in US next week anyway, but I haven’t felt the urge. It’s true …
Thé du Hammam – Palais des Thés
This poor tea – it’s been offered to guests on numerous occasions, and swapped, and I have snuck an un-Steepstered cup on occasion. There’s not that much left now, and this is only the second tasting note for it. The shame. I’m so on the fence about Palais des Thés. I know they’re not even …
Shiraore Kuki Hojicha Flush – Palais des Thés
Reading PdT’s own description of this tea, it comes off as something very complex. It’s certainly very present scent wise – almost to a take-over-the-room level, but the suggested complexity is nowhere to be found. I can’t really do my usual notes-of-this, or notes-of-that, because there’s just one main note – a somewhat flat, slightly …
Thé des Alizés – Palais des Thés
On paper, this seems right up my alley. I remember smelling it in the Tel Aviv Palais des Thés last summer, too, and I liked it a lot. I know Palais get a lot of flak in terms of quality and pricing, but there’s something about their flavored teas that really does it for me. …
La Poire – Palais des Thés
I’ve been ridiculously busy – lousy timing, since I have samples from a Steepster friend that I want to try and write elaborate tasting notes for, but, alas, no such luck. Okay, so looking back at the previous notes for this, I’ve really fiddled about with the rating. And it’s seemingly a never-ending story, because …
Vert à la vanille – Palais des Thés
It’s been a busy end of the year; travel, travel, some more travel and then boom! Christmas! So let me wrap it up with a bit of tea. The word ‘serendipity’ always rubs me the wrong way – possibly because of the sheer, undiluted horrors of that Cusack/Beckinsale romcom (2001?! I can’t believe it’s been …
La Poire – Palais des Thés
This was not, in fact, the one I dropped into the pitcher (see the previous note) but I’m going to give it its five points back, because I’ve had massive cravings for this one lately. I feel like I’m cheating, because I usually write one tasting note per… what? What do I call it? Leaf …
