This does actually taste like a tea you’d serve at a wedding.
It’s got a hotel restaurant vibe to it, in a good way. Clean, flavoursome, sweet.
The taste is toasty caramel. Marshmallow all over. And like any Mariage Frères tea, you can taste it long before it hits your mouth.
I was tempted to deduct a star because I’m pretty sure this is a flavoured tea. As in artificially. And there’s a snobby little purist in me that thinks that’s unacceptable.
But it doesn’t taste like mall tea store tisane. It tastes good.
It tastes, like, a little kitsch maybe. Not kitsch. I don’t know the word – the kind of kitsch that’s all beiges and cursive lettering and wooden signs with “Live Laugh Love” carved into them. Yeah, I’d serve it at my wedding.
