Ooh La La Té de Hojas Sueltas — Poesie Perfume and Tea

The little seashell shapes really do come through in the cup—it's like a bakery in a mug with that almond and orange blossom combo. I steeped it a bit longer than usual and it stayed smooth, no bitterness at all, which is rare for a tea this fragrant.

That first steeping smells exactly like a French patisserie counter. The almond and orange blossom are perfectly balanced, and the tea has that delicate, cakey sweetness the madeleine description promises without being heavy.

The almond and orange blossom combo is so well-balanced it’s like eating a fresh madeleine, but as a tea. I brewed a cup this afternoon and the delicate seashell-inspired aroma really does carry over into every sip.
