Perrrfecttt!!!! Review by Jo
This is my new favorite tea, for almost a year now, and I still enjoy every sip, drinking several cups a day in cool weather (with honey and milk). Even my husband really likes it (no milk) and we've found very few teas that rise to the top of both of our #1 hit charts like this one. However, I have to admit that I do have a sweet tooth and especially like caramel anything, though I find Paris Afternoon to have just the perfect subtle sweetness and flavor. If this sounds like your cup of tea, then please give it a try!

I'm not usually a fan of sweet teas, but I tried a small box because who wouldn't want to be in Paris in the afternoon. I made my first cup and settled into a bubble bath, and oh my god! Before I could even sip it, the aroma made my eyes roll back in my head. This tea is my new happy place. And it has rendered dessert an unnecessary indulgence. Buy some!

It's an okay tea. I got a box from a friend and had most of it, but personally, it's not the right kind of sweet for my tastes. I'd say it leans a little more butterscotch than caramel, but I'm not sure how genuine my ideas of those two flavours are as they're probably based on candy. To compare, I usually put a cube of raw sugar in my tea, but not in this one. I've a sweet tooth, but I find this tea *mostly* sweet enough on it's own.

I normally avoid flavored teas, but I got this in the Afternoon Selection box. It's really good! The "hint of caramel" is very present but doesn't overwhelm or taste "artificial". With milk or cream it's a cozy winter sipper for any time of day.

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
