In 2013, my husband and I honeymooned in Paris, and one day we walked into a quaint little cafe, the name of which I cannot recall, and we had tea and coffee. When I sipped my black tea, my taste buds did a little pirouette, so when I asked what kind of tea it was, I found out the name: Vanille Caramel by Comptoir Richard. We were told that Comptoir Richard has a tea shop, so we embarked on a walk to find it and buy some of this deliciousness to bring back home to LA. We bought two bags of the loose tea and a box of the tea bags. Every time I had a sip of this tea at home, I'd remember our honeymoon, Paris, and was filled with happy thoughts and magical memories. We would serve it to guests and they, too, would fall in love with this unique taste. When I started running out, I began to search for it online -- I looked everywhere and could not find it or could not find anywhere that would ship it to the US, so every time we heard of someone traveling to Paris, this is what we'd ask them to bring back. A few years after, I came across this website (panamecoffee.com), and jumped for joy when I found that they were selling this tea and could ship it home!
I've been a loyal customer ever since and this tea continues to bring me joy. Thank you so much!
