It seems I can go years sometimes without coming across any new tea purveyors, but T.J. Maxx has turned up yet another one I'd not heard of, St. Dalfour France.
The cellophane-wrapped box looked very peachy to me, and since I do love peach-flavored teas, I decided to give this one a try.
The tea bags are individually wrapped, always a plus in my book.
And I was surprised to find these tea bags are made in a style I've come across only in England before. See that string through the bag?
You *gently* pull on the tag to extend the string and make your tea. It's quite a clever way to make a tea bag, and I was delighted to come across this style once more. But most of all, I was happy to find another delicious black tea flavored with peach (and vanilla, it turns out). This $3.99 box of tea was definitely a winner!
I've found this brand at Big Lots before, although not this peach one. The regular black and Earl Grey varieties are very good! I like the teabag design, too. For me, organic is a big plus!
ReplyDeleteI love St. Dalfour's peppermint tea as a hot drink when I have indigestion. My daughter in law loves their Strawberry. I've tried their peach, but I really love the Twining's cold brewed peach tea.
ReplyDeleteI think they also produce jams! I remember buying jam with a very similar if not the same name.
ReplyDeleteTetley's have used a similar style of drawstring bag in some of their herbal teas. They didn't seem to stay on the market for very long.
I didn’t know this brand made tea. I’ve had their jam before.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've had St. Dalfour jams before, too, but not their tea. I have never seen tea bags made like that before.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing! I love all things "French," so was excited to learn about this tea, and found a box of their English Breakfast blend at my local Home Goods. Look forward to trying it!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of this company, but it may have been when I visited Paris the first time and was there for tea.
