Le Thé Guimet is a refined blend of green tea with fresh and floral fragrances, evoking delicate citrus fruit and cherry blossom. Imbued with the spirit of Japan, the recipe also contains a scattering of cornflower petals.
The idea behind the tea was to devise a recipe in homage to Emile Guimet, founder of the eponymous museum. The cornflower petals are a reference to "Guimet blue”, also known as "artificial ultramarine”, which was invented by Jean-Baptiste Guimet, Emile’s father.
The citrus and cherry blossom symbolise the period in Japan when Emile Guimet began acquiring the objects that would later form one of the best-known collections in France dedicated to Asian cultures.

Too intense, to much flavour, like a parfume is added.

Dear customer, thank you for your review ! We are sorry that our Guimet Tea does not bring you complete satisfaction. We recommend that you modify the preparation criteria (quantity, infusion duration and water temperature) slightly in order to obtain a liqueur that suits you best. Have a pleasant day, Alexis.

based on my taste that goes for the fruity and citrus note, I wanted to try a new flavour and loved it too.
