Betjeman & Barton: Papillon's Love From Malesherbes
I feel stress to do this review as this tea brand is very glamorous one, which is Betjeman & Barton from French, a country full of romantic loves,poetic languages, cultures, all great senses of fashion born. (honestly, i dont really know French this country well, I am just it is so)
Brand History
From Wikipedia
Based in Paris, France, Betjeman & Barton have been tea merchants since 1919. They offer black, perfumed, and herbal teas from around the world.
The company was founded by Frenchmen Betjeman and his British employee Barton. As of 2014, the company sells over two hundred and fifty varieties of tea.
My purchase experience
This is my third times to purchase tea from this brand, and as usual I feel very hard to pick up from among the huge selections of types and perfumes of tea Betjeman & Barton offers. Luckily the sales girl there is very helpful and was not tiring to open one by one the containers which fill tea leaves for me to pick up the cup of my tea.
This brand offers loose tea sell in minimum of 100g of RM52 for most variants of tea except certain expensive tea leaves, such as Sencha, the price might different. I told her that I love fruity and floral scent. And she recommend me Les invites & Malesherbes. She explained that she love Malesherbes over Les invites for the scent as she is not so fancy into Jasmine scent tea, however she love Les invites over Malesherbes for it's baby Tiffany blue Tea caddy! Ah.... I just realized that in the shop the colorful caddies for each color is unique & is belong to one type of tea! So beautiful way of this brand to assign the standard tin caddy (125g) one solid catchy color for each type of tea!

My choice of purchase
At last, i chosen Malesherbes as my purchase for this time because I want to customize it with the Papillon tea caddy that I eyed on since several months before I saw it at their facebook page. But I tell myself I shall buy the Tiffany baby blue next purchase!! it is too beautiful.
Description from official website
Malesherbes-Flavoured green tea with fruits bits and rose petals
Sencha green tea (from China) with aromas of passion fruit, vineyard peach and wild strawberries. Embellished with red rose petals and strawberry bits. A real sweet!
Extra information:
Malesherbes is a station on Paris Métro Line 3. Malesherbes was opened on 23 May 1910 when the line was extended from Villiers to Pereire.
My review of Malesherbes
Aroma:
Well, it is really fruity, with the strawberry notes smell the strongest, but i don't really get the peach notes and not to mention the mild rose notes. But overall, it is a lovely fruity and floral fragrance green tea, of course due to it is a green tea based, you could smell the green leaves notes.
Taste bud:
Very sweet sensation with bit of bitter from green tea leaves.
Soup color:
Light green with sedimentation after left for a while, because it is a loose tea leaves
Packaging & Price:
I choose customized own tea caddy which itself cost RM59 plus 100g of tea RM52
Availability:
Lot G220, Ground Floor, 1, One Utama Shopping mall (Next to the corridor link to One World Hotel)

Harney & Sons Royal Wedding Tea
It is my first time to purchase and try on this brand of tea.
From wikipedia
Harney & Sons is an American tea company founded in 1983 in Salisbury, Connecticut and now based in Millerton, New York.They specialize in high-quality loose teas and herbal teas, and offer several products that are organic and certified kosher. In addition to loose teas, the company offers selected blends packaged in tetrahedral "silken sachet" tea bags, and other teas in standard tea bags.
My first purchase experience
I was undecided to choose from their wide selections of tea, from white tea, black tea to green tea, the Malaysia company (Argo Andaman) which brought in this brand has made a quite lot of choices of this brand of tea types available at it's office (they direct sell to hotels & restaurants only), very grateful that the guy, I didn't even ask his name (I am so ignorant of others as usual as I am just focusing on which flavors I shall want to buy! Shame), is so helpful to assist me to choose the cuppa of my tea,so I have chosen three types to try and now I am just to review this Royal wedding tea.
The reason I choose this because it contains rose petals, but I am really disappointed because I cant smell the rose petals at all, it is my careless to overlook the powerful almond and coconut and vanilla can mask over the rose delicate scent!!!! Arrghhhhh sad, but never mind, there is always next time to try another variants!
From the tin description:
Royal Wedding Tea: We are honored to present our union of chinese Mutan White Tea buds, with almond, coconut and vanilla to taste and a floral abundance of pink rosebuds and petals. A regal Tea Blend to celebrate a glorious occasion.
Ingredients:
Chinese White Tea rose petals cornflowers, marigold petals, naturals and artificial almond coconut and vanilla flavors.
Brewing instructions:
Steep in less than boiling water for 4 minutes.
My Review
Aroma:
when opened the tin, i really can smell the very strong almond nutty smells, with sweet vanilla notes in it, but not really can smell the rose!
Taste bud:
Not bitter at all! Very sweet, the sweet vanilla almond coconut smell will linger in your mouth, a full embodies taste. But where is pink rose laaaaa, Honestly, i totally dont get the rose notes inside of this tea.
#color label:
this tea i would like to label it as a brown one, as it is really not floral! Very almond la, not really my cup of tea la.
Likeness towards it:
So so lo, average, not hate but also don't really into it
Soup Color:
Very pretty light pale gold with quite high transparency ( I seldom have chance to drink white tea, so this color rarely i can enjoy as it shall only can be seen in white tea)
Packaging:
Refer to the photo. Very royal motif design lo, very nice lo, that s why I being attracted to choose it lo, now regret lo. But seeing the very royal design (glossy pink floral lines mingled & tangled together with glossy gold floral lines as symbolized the tangled and inseparable love? haha), i persuade myself it is nice tea. :P
For Price and Availability:
please go to like their facebook page and private message them, I guess they will very welcome to reply your enquiry.

That's my very simple review of my first tea I bought very recently.
Thanks for reading and merry Christmas and the happy new 2017.

[分享]Harrods Flavour Black Tea- Blackcurrant
我超级爱喝茶的，原因很多。其中一样是如果你不小心弄到了它，你最惨也是被轻微烫伤而不会弄得你的衣服有stain（过后还是需要尽快去清洗它啦，不然你就跟你的衣服saybye了）
那当然我喝茶主要是因为它的味道多样化咯，不说它还有很多样式：红茶，绿茶，白茶，花茶等等。
今天介绍的是来自Harrods的黑加仑香味黑茶。你也许会问：香味是天然的还是化学的，老实说，我觉得都是synthetic的啦，我会这样觉得是为了让每批茶一致水准，很多包装茶包内的茶都是添加化学香料的。但我就是爱喝咯，就如你知道你用的香水并非100%天然的，你还是愿意每天让你的皮肤吸收那些对身体有害的化学香精是一样的。
ok，开始我的茶的分享。
香气：很想ribena的味道，很candy的味道，不像真实黑加仑的味道，可能黑加仑也有很多品种吧！总之，它的香气想黑加仑RIBENA的糖果香气。
味道：带咸，很特别,很少黑茶会有咸的味道。下次再taste了在更新review因为我也才第一次尝试才喝了一杯。
包装：很优雅的深紫色，有Harrods的金色女神标签，25包单独带标签茶袋、
那里可以买到：Harrods KLCC RM24.50
谢谢你的时间阅读，希望你喜欢！
