Tea tasting: Harney & Sons' Paris black tea

Harney & Sons' Paris black tea blend (https://www.harney.com/paris-tea.html) will appeal to anyone who likes Earl Grey.  It's quite aromatic, with a touch of oil of Bergamot in its blend.  But on top of the Bergamot are notes of vanilla and caramel, along with a sort of malty-fruity quality to the tea.  It is inherently sweet, but not overly so.

I happen to have received this tea in sachet form, instead of loose.  Fair warning that opening the sachet yields a very sugary, somewhat overdone aroma.  That quality is not reflected in the aroma or flavor of the tea.

This tea would be excellent for afternoons, and would go extremely well with baked goods.  In short, it's made for tea parties.
