Do you usually drink tea?
Whenever I go to a coffee shop, I order iced tea in summer and hot tea in winter. I drink black tea because I want to feel like I'm at a coffee shop at home.
Coffee has a strong caffeine, so it takes courage to drink it late at night, and its astringent scent reminds me of business, so when I feel like taking a break, I always make tea.
When I make tea, I feel like eating some sweets, watching a movie, and listening to some music.
A chain of bliss ensues, and you fall asleep with the illusion that you are Marie Antoinette.
Today, I would like to introduce some teas that I would recommend, based on my own personal opinion, even to people who don't drink much tea.
1. Ninas Marie Antoinette, "Quatrefrui Rouges"
Sweetness of scent ★★★☆☆
Refreshing ★★★★☆
Richness★★★☆☆
Drinkability: ★★★★☆
Ninas Marie Antoinette is a long-established French tea brand founded in 1672 and headquartered right next to Place Vendôme in the center of Paris.
Quatre Fruilles Rouges has a sweet and sour fruity scent and is refreshing without being too sweet.It has a very clean, light taste with a hint of black tea, making it easy to drink.
It's not a sweet flavor, but the astringency is quite mild, giving it an atmosphere somewhere between juice and tea, which gives it a slightly tropical feel.
I like to drink it as iced tea.
I think it's the perfect sweetness for this season.
It is also recommended for those who do not usually drink much tea.
Ninas' can designs are very cute, so I recommend you to check out their online shopping site.
It makes us feel happy.
❷ Ninas Marie Antoinette "Je t'aime"
Sweetness of scent ★★★★★
Refreshing ★★☆☆☆
Richness★★★★☆
Drinkability: ★★★★★
I drank a slapstick version of Je t'aime, which is also part of the tea bag series ❶.
As the name suggests, this black tea has an even more gorgeous sweetness and aroma than its name suggests.
You can drink coconut royal milk tea based on this je t'aime at Le Salon de Ninas, and I'll never forget the excitement I felt the first sip.
It's so luxurious that it will overturn your concept of milk tea.
I realized the fun of being particular about the type of tea used in my milk tea.
I tried making iced tea with sugar at home again, and the scent matched well with the sweetness of the sugar, so it didn't taste cheap no matter what kind of sugar I used.
It has a vanilla and caramel flavor, and the refined sweetness is irresistible. Drinking this is like a daily reward.
I felt that Kazuhiko Kato's album "Utakata no Opera" had a very similar feel to it, with its marriage of fulfillment, elation, moderate elegance and splendor.
This is a must-try for tea lovers.
The tins in Ninas' tea leaf series are also very cute, and just displaying them makes you feel happy.
❸Taiwanese black tea
Sweetness of aroma★☆☆☆☆
Refreshing ★☆☆☆☆
Richness★★★★★
Drinkability: ★★★★★
Is this what they call Assam tea?
It has a strong body and astringency, but it feels more like tea than black tea, so I think it's very easy to drink.
It is perfect for milk tea because the flavor of the black tea is not lost even when milk is added.
It tastes exactly like the milk tea you would get at a traditional coffee shop.
I feel like it's easier to drink if you drink it hot.
It has a rich flavor that makes it perfect for drinking in the winter.
From here, I'd like to introduce three of my favorite flavors that go well together.
❹ Mariage "Wedding Imperial"
Sweetness of scent ★★★★★
Refreshing ★★☆☆☆
Richness★☆☆☆☆
Drinkability: ★★★★☆
The flavor is gorgeously sweet, with a straight, refreshing taste.
It has a very easy-to-drink taste and a sweet aroma, so it seems like it would be good for children too.
In a word, I think it's a very lovely tea.
Assam tea with caramel and chocolate aromas.
It has no astringency, so it's easy to drink and delicious even without adding sugar, but adding sugar matches the aroma perfectly and is irresistible for those with a sweet tooth.
If you like sweet scent, you should definitely try this.
❺Marriage: “Earl Grey Imperial”
Sweetness of scent ★☆☆☆☆
Refreshing ★★☆☆☆
Richness★★★☆☆
Drinkability: ★★☆☆☆
Bergamot gives it an exotic and mature scent. It also has a bit of astringency and richness.
This is a tea that will make you feel very calm, and is recommended for those who do not like sweet scents.
6. Marriage: Marco Polo
Sweetness of scent ★★★★☆
Refreshing ★☆☆☆☆
Richness★★★★☆
Drinkability: ★★★☆☆
This has been my favorite tea since I was a child.
The orthodox sweetness of the aroma and the moderate bitterness give it an elegance that makes you realize the true joy of black tea.
Drinking it iced makes you feel like you're indulging, but it's also delicious hot.
Anyway, it smells great.
I think it would be nice to have a Marco Polo perfume.
Perfect for anyone who wants to know about and drink good tea.
It is also recommended for those who like sweet-smelling tea.
It's the ultimate luxurious feeling, so be sure to try it.
Like music, movies, and clothes, tea is a wonderful luxury that can match or change your mood for the day.
The tea that you casually drink at a coffee shop comes in a wide variety, including Darjeeling, Assam, Earl Grey, and Ceylon, and the types vary depending on the shop.
Have a nice day with tea ♡
