I recently tried Fleur de Sureau et Pêche Bio, a tea blend from Palais des Thés. Here’s my detailed review of the experience:

Overview

I love this tea so much! The peach is clear, and yet it does not overpower the elderflower, which is also very noticeable. It’s a perfect balance of flavors.

Preparation

  • Temperature: 95°C
  • Time: 2 min (initial steep), followed by consecutive 30s/1min steeps
  • Tea Amount: 2.5 g
  • Water Volume: A bit less than 80 mL (in my gaiwan)

Tasting Experience

I went for an initial steep at 95°C for 2 minutes, followed by consecutive 30-second/1-minute steeps. The point here was to see how concentrated the taste could be, and it was worth it. The tea has a very subtle yet distinctive taste, making it a perfect morning brew.

Flavor Profile

The flavors are clear, with the elderflower and peach both shining through without overpowering each other. It’s a delightful blend that offers a refreshing start to the day.

Flavors: Clear, Elderflower, Peach

Rating:

  • Flavor Complexity: 28/30 - Exceptional blend of flavors, well-balanced.
  • Brewing Forgiveness: 18/20 - Performs well even with varying steep times.
  • Consistency Across Infusions: 18/20 - Maintains flavor profile through multiple steeps, though slightly fades.
  • Overall Enjoyment: 21/30 - Highly enjoyable, though slightly lacking in intensity over time.
