My love for tea started at a very young age and my favorite tea is green tea! If you haven’t, make sure you read my post sharing the benefits of drinking green tea. Growing up, I remember my mom telling me stories of how I always wanted to taste her tea, even to the point of throwing a tantrum just to get a sip. When I become old enough to boil my own hot water, I remember begging my mom to buy a variety of tea flavors so that I could try a new flavor and have a hot cup before I went to bed. 
After receiving a Bodum tea infuser for my birthday, I’ve slowly been shifting away from tea bags and using more loose leaf teas. I like using loose leaf teas because I’ve learned that most bagged tea has been so heavily processed, that there’s little left of the benefits of the actual tea. So when Palais des Thes gifted me their Paris for Her tea collection, which consists of green tea with notes of rose, raspberry and lychee, I was excited to try this amazing blend!
The moment I opened the metal tin, the aroma of green tea and floral notes were so relaxing. This tea blend pays tribute to the romantic and elegant City of Light, also known as Paris. The Paris for Her blend consists of green tea (China) (90%), raspberry (2%), blue mallow flowers (2%), rose (2%) and sunflower (2%) petals, flavors (red fruits, rose lotus, lychee, raspberry). After brewing my first cup, I decided to sweeten my tea with honey and it was perfect!
I really enjoyed this Palais des Thes tea and I do plan to purchase more blends in the future. Hopefully, I will get a chance to visit them the next time I’m in New York and attend one of their tea tasting classes. I’m happy to add a new premium tea brand to my collection of loose leaf teas!

I’m not really a tea person, and I usually only drink it when I’m sick. But I have heard so many great things about green tea, that I would really love to give this brand a try! Can’t wait to try this one out!
