The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 12 February 2021 8 Comments

From the Thé des Signes series at Mariage Frères, the Year of the Ox tea: "Inspired by the heroic and protective Ox, MARIAGE FRÈRES has imagined an intense black tea, its roundness sublimated by the luscious notes of sun kissed fruits. Goji berries, the signature ingredient in the THÉ DES SIGNES collection, accentuate the composition with beneficial vitamins. This YEAR OF THE OX tea’s pagoda-shaped tin dazzles with a magnetic colour of Java plum. An enveloping and gourmet cup for a year of serenity and well-being." $45 at ZGO Perfumery in San Francisco.

    I don’t find Goji berries particularly flavorful, and I don’t want vitamins in my tea, most are kinda bitter. What else did they put in it??

      They don’t specify, even on the MF website. But I bet this is fruity / sweet, and they say the goji is added for the “beneficial vitamins”, so guessing it isn’t the main flavor.

        Ah, the berries are the vitamins, that sounds better! Overall, their teas are lovely, this one probably is, too.

    Oh wow. Want, just for the packaging. A purple tea tin with the word Buffle on it. Fantastic.
