Review of Kusmi Bouquet de Fleurs Tea (4.4oz.)

I first picked this tea up in Paris at the Bon Marche department store food halls (Le Grand Epicerie de Paris).On returning to the states and trying the tea I was most impressed.Redolent of bergamot and flowers it has an intense aroma and flavor that is well-enhanced with the addition of honey and a little milk. It is now my favorite tea.Enjoy!

Product Description

Founded in 1867 in Saint-Petersburg, Kusmi Teas are faithful to the spirit of the firm P.M Kousmichoff, supplier of the tsars of ancient Russia. In 1917 when the Revolution started in Russia, anticipating a disaster, the eldest Kusmichoff son transferred a part of his fortune to the London office and then created the Kusmi Tea company in France, based in Paris at 75 avenue Niel, where the company still has its workshop and boutique.

Kousmichoff has been carrying on the same tradition of serving connoisseurs and gourmets, combining discerning taste and creativity. Well known for their superb flavor andsmootheness, they are distributed throughout the world in the most fashionable and exclusive places. Kusmi teas share all the complexity and subtlety of ancient Russia.

Bouquet de Fleurs is a bend of China and Ceylon teas flavored with natural scents of bergamot, citrus fruits and flowers.

Each tin contains 4.4 ounces net weight of Bouquet de Fleurs Loose Tea blend by Kusmi Tea from France.

Review of Old Cavendish Fruitcake

I did not purchase this size fruitcake, but bought a rather larger one (40 oz) from old cavendish that came in a tin. My mom used to make fruitcake; I always thought that I should like it--I love most of the ingredients--but I couldn't get past that nasty candied fruit. The description of this fruitcake, which features unsulfured natural dried fruits and LOTS of nuts, intrigued me. I bought one--and we began 'fighting' over the fruitcake. It was amazingly good, the best either of us had ever tasted (and he loves fruitcake). In an effort for each of us to be thoughtful, we each 'saved' the last piece for the other. As a result, the last piece stayed in the back of the fridge for more than a year--when either of us cleaned out the fridge, we put it back in for the other to consume. Finally, realizing that a year and a half had gone by, we resolved that the next one to take it out would dispose of it; I suggested checking it first as fruitcakes are famous for their 'keeping' qualities. He did so--AND IT WAS STILL GOOD! He said it was still very tasty and moist. The company makes these in small batches; it seems that the prior reviewer may have gotten one made on an 'off' day (we all have one now and again, don't we?) Please don't let this stop you from trying the best fruitcake ever!

Product Description
This All natural fruitcake is handmade in small batches, drenched in liqueurs and then cold aged in our coolers

Review of Dark Chocolate Bar by LaTienda.com

If like me you love dark chocolate, Blanxart is delicious.I was leery spending this much on a chocolate bar as I generally purchase Green and Black etc..But the Blanxart is a cut above the rest with a more complex flavor that more modestly priced bars.I wouldn't purchase this for everyday, but I certainly would treat myself from time to time.

Review of Cotswold - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet.com

Take wonderful rich Double Gloucester cheese and add bits of chive and onion and you get this perfect cheese to eat anytime. Perfect with your favorite beer. The flavor is just great. It is a hard and crumbly sharp cheese very popular in English pubs for years. Double Gloucester gets its name because twice the normal amount of milk is used in the cheddar type recipe for added richness.

Product Description
Cotswold, also known as "Pub Cheese," is the name given to this hearty cheese that combines Double Gloucester with flavorful bits of chive and onion. A harmonious blend of mellow, crumbly cheese and powerful vegetables, Cotswold is a terrific complement to the softer, milder flavors on your cheese board. In England, it is a notoriously popular pub cheese that is commonly served with hard-crusted bread and a strong, dark ale. Wonderful melted on grilled chicken or chops, and atop burgers.
  • Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
  • Photo depicts whole 5 lb. form of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the pound.
  • Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Review of Ashbys Japanese Green Tea Bags, 200 Count Box

*****
Ashby's Japanese Green Tea is a distinctive, strong, great-flavored Japanese tea. Nothing wimpy or mild about it, and I'm glad, because it's so enjoyable. I made a large thermos with one tea bag, left the tea bag in, and drank it for several hours, and it never got bitter. I then made more tea with the same tea bag. The flavor is definitely Asian and I could drink cup after cup. It smells great, too.


Ashby's of London writes this about Japanese Green Tea: "From Japan, this pan-fired tea is lightly rolled and dried over a fire in a large flat bottom pan. This tea contains the desirable "Polyphenols" that have been reported to be a cancer fighting substance. It has a very light, fresh taste and produces a transparent greenish colored brew." I agree, but please note that the tea is distinctively flavored, not mild (which I really like) and delivers a wonderful tea experience.

I highly recommend it, and if you enjoy Asian teas, or want a true green tea, you'll not go wrong here.
*****

Product Description

Japanese Green Tea is the finest pan-fired green tea. Green tea has a pale green color in the cup and is prized for its light, delicately balanced flavor.

Each bag is individually packed in an air-tight laminated foil wrapper. 200 bags per box.

Review of Olive Oil Spreads by A L'Olivier - Garlic and Herb (3.5 ounce) by igourmet.com

This is a very delicious spread, perfect on toast, ciabatta, and especially whole wheat bread rolls. It is pretty expensive, but like many of the products from iGourmet, I feel that it is worth it. If you are looking for a savory treat for yourself or a friend, this is a great choice. My whole family really enjoys the Tuscan flavor of this spread and we will be trying some of the other flavors of Olive Oil spreads soon. I feel like this is a great healthy indulgence!

Product Description
Introduced last year in Europe to great acclaim, France's famed olive oil specialists have created olive oil that is as spreadable as butter. This patented innovation combines the advantages of healthy Mediterranean diet value of olive oil with the convenience of a butter tub. They are 100% natural and contain no additives, colorants, preservatives, or chemicals. Rich in mono unsaturated fat acids (69%) and with less than 25% of saturated fat, they fit nutritionists' recommendations for proper fat intake. Thanks to the solid texture, achieved through the addition of vegetable monoglycerides, they can replace butter or margarine in cooking. These compact spreads come in convenient tartiner style flat plastic containers.

They are shelf stable, but are best kept in the butter case or refrigerator to maintain a solid texture. Serve them on breakfast bagels or anywhere else you use butter or margarine - in an omelette, toasted on crostini, spread on sandwiches instead of mayo, and for sautéeing or frying meats, fish, or vegetables. Available in four delicious flavors: Basil, Garlic & Herb, Lemon and Natural.

Review of Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: Orange Chocolate Bars -- One Dozen

I came across this item by accident.And I couldn't believe what I saw.My daughter & her husband had decided to name their child Leonidas (the Spartan king that held back the Persians). When I saw this the baby had not yet been born.I had to buy some.
This is really good chocolate!If you saw me you would know that I know a great deal about candy.This is top of the line.I actually bought 3 flavors, all of which were good.The nurses at the hospital like it as well, as we gave out bars to the nurses that helped in the delivery.
I intend to buy more at each birthday if not more often.

Product Description
Leonidas' Orange chocolate bar: solid dark chocolate with a hint of orange flavor. This delicious taste combination is perfect with coffee. Convenient packaging to indulge or share any time.

Review of Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: 1 lb Napolitain Feuilletine Milk Chocolate Squares

I first fell in love with the Leonidas chocolates while in Belgium and now I finally found them online. If I was in New York, you would probably find me at the Manon Cafe in the winter sipping hot chocolates. In the summer, I'd be at the Leonidas' store buying gourmet chocolates. After savoring chocolates in Europe, Africa and America - these are the best chocolates I have ever tasted.

The crunchy chocolate squares were a real surprise and I love how delicate the crunch is when encased in a burst of delicious chocolate.

You may also enjoy the Mint chocolates. They are delicious after dinner or anytime you want to wake up your taste buds. The mint flavor bursts from these chocolates as if it was encased in little sugar crystals. It is quite perfect and refreshing.

I also love the Cinnamon and Orange. If you have been dreaming of the most delicious orange flavored chocolates in the world, you have to try the Orange Napolitains. I love both equally, although the cinnamon flavor has me completely seduced.

I prefer to savor each piece of chocolate with a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. The warmth of the beverage creates an entirely different experience than if you were to simply taste a square of chocolate on its own.

Once your mouth is warmed, take a small bite of the chocolate square and enter Mint Chocolate Oblivion. The world stops for minutes at a time as you savor a mingling of the best cinnamon you have ever tasted with the silkiest creamiest Belgian chocolate in the world.

If you wish to try all the Napolitains, I'd suggest the 1 pound sampler Ballotin with six varieties. Leonidas now has over 1700 stores and sales locations worldwide and they offer over 80 varieties of fresh chocolates. The chocolates are air freighted weekly from Brussels so you will always find the quality to be superior.

My chocolates arrived fast and were as fresh as if I had purchased them in Belgium. They were carefully packaged in the famous gold boxes with signature wrapping and a ribbon. The boxes were then placed in protective Styrofoam containers to protect the chocolates during shipping. The expedited shipping is recommended from May to early September.

~The Rebecca Review

Product Description
Napolitain Feuilletine...one of the newest additions to Leonidas' range...a combination of Leonidas' milk chocolate and chunks of biscuit, resulting in a sweet morsel with a little crunch. Remember to try Leonidas' other Napolitain varieties: Nibs, Mint, Cinnamon, Orange, 72% Pure Origin.

Review of Scott's Cakes Cocoa Covered Dark Chocolate Truffles 1/2 Pound White Gourmet Box

The truffles were positively YUMMY!.A few of the truffles were a bit squished by the postal service, but they were still absolutely delish.When I've purchased truffles from other companies, I found them overpoweringly sweet.But Scott's truffles were just right.They had the perfect amount of sweetness.The consistancy of the truffles was a bit more like fudge than a truffle.But when you're as much a chocoholic as I am, it really doesn't matter.Just gimme CHOCOLATE!Gimme GIMME!I will definately order from Scott's Cakes in the future!

Review of Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil

Roasted Garlic Grapeseed OilThis oil gives diced chicken a great garlic flavor.I also drizzle it over a bed of mixed greens.No need to add extra garlic!

The oil has a slightly woody flavor with a distinctive, but not overpowering, garlic taste.

Product Description
Enjoy this as a bread dipper or use to make garlic mash potatoes. We consider grapeseed oil a miracle. Its flavor is only rivaled by its health benefits: a high level of natural antioxidants, it's lower in unhealthy saturated fat and it's higher in good polyunsaturated fat than any oil we know of.

Review of Scott's Cakes 1 lb. Dark Chocolate Coconut Cluster in a Heart Box

I bought these chocolates because my gf loves dark chocolate and coconut. When I saw this product, I thought it would be the perfect fit for a Valentine's Day gift. I'd read some reviews about some of Scott's Cakes' other chocolates being too hard to chew so I was a little hesitant, but decided to try these anyway.

I think some people have the wrong expectations about chocolate coming through the mail. It seems like these people want something warm and chewy, but that's not going to work unless you're a fan of melted chocolate. These things are in transit for a few days, of course they're going to be a *little* tough.

And that's what these chocolates were: a little tough. Not even close to a jawbreaker. Probably not even tougher than chewable airheads. However they were absolutely delicious! I was expecting to get a jawbreaker and instead I got a chocolate that was extremely tasty and felt like it was firm enough to withstand being in transit for a few days. I liked them even more than my gf did!

Don't be discouraged by what some reviewers are saying, just try it yourself and remember to keep some reasonable expectations.

Review of Scott's Cakes Cocoa Covered Dark Chocolate Truffles 4 Pack Box

Ordered these for Valentine's Days plans which never panned out, so I had them all to myself, and I think I got the better end of the deal.

They were sent rather promptly, and arrived quickly. The packaging was intact, and there was only a slight dent on the top of the truffles from the packaging, but they were not some ball of gooey dough or anything.

As for size, they're slightly smaller than a golfball, so be sure to have a sweet tooth before you order. Taste-wise, they're rather good. The cocoa is not overwhelming, and you can certainly taste the chocolate underneath. There's also enough of each truffle to give you a satisfying feel after eating one, as opposed to some of the smaller packaged truffles where you eat a dozen and only then realize half the box is gone, one of these at a time will do.

The only real Con I can think of, is that I still tasted a bit of whichever oil they used to sure up the truffle (safflower, coconut, etc.), and it slightly took away from the chocolaty taste.

However, don't let that stop you too much. They were plenty chocolaty, and I mean chocolaty, not loaded with sugar.

For the price I ordered them at (around $3 I believe), they were a great little treat, and I've been remiss about letting the review go so long.

If you have a few spare bucks to spoil yourself and don't mind waiting for shipping, grab these, or order the bigger pack. You won't be disappointed unless you're looking for the absolute top-quality truffles (in which case, you'll be spending ten times the amount).

Review of Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake 1lb. / 8"

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake 1lb. / 8This was such a delicious cookie cake!!It wasn't dried out & it was sweet without being overly sweet.

The cake did not come with writing, which was a bit disappointing.I thought perhaps I'd get a choice as to what was written on the cake, but it arrived blank (just flowers on it).

Review of Rustichella d'Abruzzo Garganelli

It's good pasta but not remotely worth the price.It's just not that special.

Product Description
Taste this pasta while you are still cooking it and before adding any sauce to it; you will fully appreciate the taste of durum wheat. Cook it until still firm, drain it and serve it. If you wish to add some grated cheese to it (parmesan cheese or sheep's

Review of Leonidas Party Favors: 20 x 2 Piece Gold Ballotins

After much deliberation about wedding favors, I ended up going the edible route and bought the Leonidas chocolate favors from Amazon.I highly recommend these for many reasons - one, they are yummy and go well with champagne; two, they are shipped fast and no hassles; three, it's super easy - you get a box of nicely wrapped favors and you can just take it to your reception and be done with it.All in all, I was very happy with this choice!

Product Description
The perfect wedding or party favor, ideal for any special event or for any gift giving occasion...enclosed in our classic mini ballotin and tied with a white satin ribbon, each box contains two assorted truffles.

Review of Red Buffalo Banana Foster Coffee, Ground, 12 ounce

Anyone who is not familiar with Red Buffalo, who finds themselves drooling over the flavors available, but wondering if they can trust the brand... Don't think twice. Just get it. If you're going to waste an obscene amount of money to buy gourmet coffee (and believe me, tasting this coffee may well lead to that), this would be the brand. They've got all kinds of flavors, and over the course of the few years I worked in an office, I tried as many of them as I could afford. (And my fellow coffee addict co-workers appreciated having their horizons broadened too. ^_-) If you are one of the odd people who just loves flavored coffee, don't worry about how crazy the flavor name sounds. Yes, even BLUEBERRY ... can and does make an excellent coffee flavor with these guys making it. I only stopped buying it pretty much when I became unemployed and could no longer afford it.

I highly recommend all flavors with plain or vanilla cream and sugar, though, to achieve the intended flavor effect. Excellent flavors, all, and this one's no exception!

Product Description
Our supplier starts with high grown Arabica beans (the most prized coffee grown), imported from the finest coffee growing regions of the world. After personally inspecting and sampling each load, they ship the selected beans directly to their roasting plant in Wichita, Kansas. There, the raw beans are blended and flame roasted to exacting specifications, assuring you of the freshest, most tantalizing coffee served. Your coffee from The Red Buffalo is guaranteed fresh, delicious and consistent, order after order, cup after cup.

Review of Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: Signature Napoltains

Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: Signature NapoltainsI first fell in love with the Leonidas chocolates while in Belgium and now I finally found them online. If I was in New York, you would probably find me at the Manon Café in the winter sipping hot chocolates. In the summer, I'd be at the Leonidas' store buying gourmet chocolates. After savoring chocolates in Europe, Africa and America - these are the best chocolates I have ever tasted.

The crunchy chocolate squares were a real surprise and I love how delicate the crunch is when encased in a burst of delicious chocolate.

You may also enjoy the Mint chocolates. They are delicious after dinner or anytime you want to wake up your taste buds. The mint flavor bursts from these chocolates as if it was encased in little sugar crystals. It is quite perfect and refreshing.

I also love the Cinnamon and Orange. If you have been dreaming of the most delicious orange flavored chocolates in the world, you have to try the Orange Napolitains. I love both equally, although the cinnamon flavor has me completely seduced.

I prefer to savor each piece of chocolate with a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. The warmth of the beverage creates an entirely different experience than if you were to simply taste a square of chocolate on its own.

Once your mouth is warmed, take a small bite of the chocolate square and enter Mint Chocolate Oblivion. The world stops for minutes at a time as you savor a mingling of the best cinnamon you have ever tasted with the silkiest creamiest Belgian chocolate in the world.

If you wish to try all the Napolitains, I'd suggest the 1 pound sampler Ballotin with six varieties. Leonidas now has over 1700 stores and sales locations worldwide and they offer over 80 varieties of fresh chocolates. The chocolates are air freighted weekly from Brussels so you will always find the quality to be superior.

My chocolates arrived fast and were as fresh as if I had purchased them in Belgium. They were carefully packaged in the famous gold boxes with signature wrapping and a ribbon. The boxes were then placed in protective Styrofoam containers to protect the chocolates during shipping. The expedited shipping is recommended from May to early September.

Review of Basil Dijon Mustard

This is the best mustard I have ever had.I have tried others from this company and all are good.It's especially good with pork.Hard to find in stores so I have to buy it online now.Just delicious.I hate to say it but I could almost eat it out of the jar alone.

Product Description
This mustard is made in accordance to traditional methods of the Fallot Company, mustard-maker in Beaune (Burgundy) since 1840. Seeds are selected for their quality and are ground as in the past with millstones in order to avoid damaging the heat-sensitive seeds and keep their flavors intact. Recommended for salad dressings, and delicious when mixed with mayonnaise.
