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.

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
