(32 reviews)Mike has enjoyed many a pot of tea in the famous Paris tea shops. In homage to the city he has created this blend reminiscent of one of their most popular blends. It is a fruity black tea with vanilla and caramel flavors, and a hint of lemony Bergamot. Each tin contains 20 sachets. Our Paris tea is Kosher and contains caffeine. Dry Leaves: This complex tea is the blend of three teas, the leaves are black. Liquor: The liquor is medium to dark brown. Aroma: This tea smells like an Earl Grey with black currant and vanilla aromas and a hint of caramel. Caffeine Level: Caffeinated Body: This tea has a medium body. Flavors: Similar to the aroma, this tea smells sweet like caramel and has a fruity flavor of black currants. You can also taste a hint of vanilla. Brewing Time: 4 to 5 minutes Brewing Temperature: 212° F

I have to admit I absolutely despise earl greys normally, but this tea has completely won me over. I'm not sure if it's because the vanilla scent is really strong or what, but I can't really taste or smell the bergamot which is the thing I usually don't like. Instead the vanilla and dessert-like scents with blackcurrant notes come out. It smells incredible. It tastes great. It's good quality for a pretty cheap price, and I love the tin and the convenience of the packaging. This has convinced me to open my mind to variations of earl greys, so if you're not an earl grey fan, try this anyway.

Nice mix of sweet and fruity flavors. A tasty tea, although I really don't care for tea bags. one of my favorite Harney & Sons teas.

Had this at a tea party so I don't know the brewing specifics. I tasted bergamot and black tea bitterness with too much astringency. I tend to steep my black tea at lower temps for a shorter time so this might be more enjoyable if I brew it myself.

Very glad this tea was gifted to me! It has such a wonderful blend of flavors, and enough of an oompf to be different than earl grey. The scent of the leaves is delightful! It's good with or without milk- but only a splash!

Another mediocre H&S flavored tea. Very thin and weak, with more in the way of scent than actual flavor.

I got this for my mom and she liked it but she said it was kind of stale.

I really liked this tea when I first drank it. I wasn’t used to different teas at the time and it didn’t really taste like Earl Grey to me. I guess there are other flavors and Harney uses a milder tasting Earl Grey. Over time I don’t like Paris quite as much as when I first discovered it, but I still enjoy it from time to time.

This is a good currant flavored Earl Grey tea. The flavors blended well together.

I was pleasantly surprised by this tea. The flavor mix is interesting; I definitely get the caramel, but wish it had more vanilla.

A good solid black tea to drink with a little sugar and cream. The flavorings make it pleasant to drink without being overpowering.

This is no doubt a good tea. But after a while, the taste becomes sort of old. The tea also has somewhat of a "flat" taste to it. However, the body is good and filling with a unique aroma. If someone were steeping this in their shop or home, I would immediately detect Paris in the air.

I wound up with way too much of this due to a shipping error and it became the tea I shared with a friend. Tasty stuff to bond over.

A very nice, simple Earl Grey. If you are looking for a better Earl than your typical grocery store tea, but aren't into full loose leaf, this will probably be a good option for you.

I can see why people really like this tea. The currant shows most of all the flavors. I was hoping for more of the citrusy notes, but I love currant, so I'm not complaining.

This is one of my favorite teas, the vanilla, lemon, and bergamot come together perfectly.

Black tea with a touch of fruitiness. Overall pretty good, but I bought a fairly large box and I am quite tired of it

From what I can tell, this is pretty good black tea. Personally, I am not inclined to black tea, but if I did drink black tea more often this would probably be a go to tea

This tea is wonderfully sweet and a touch fruity with a soft bergamot, tasting as described--would recommend!

I love this tea. It has a different flavor than your typical Earl Grey. It is fruity. Has a distinct flavor.

To me, this tea has a strawberries and cream vibe. It's very tasty and we'll balanced.

One of my all time favorite teas, especially for making tea lattes! I first had one at the Tea Talk cafe in an iced boba tea, and my mind was blown, so of course, I had to snatch myself a tin for home. Whenever I make myself a cup, it gives me a sense of warmth and comfort. Definitely home in a cup.

Interesting tea it varies per cup. Nice medium to full bodied tea base with light flavors of bergamot, vanilla, and black currant mingling.
