Our verdict on Néroli Outrenoir: Favourite

Divisive yet adored, Néroli Outrenoir is a fascinating journey. It's a smoky, earthy black tea with a bright citrus kick, often likened to luxury hotel lobbies, though some find it too sweet or simply too subtle for the price.

About

Néroli Outrenoir opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot and tangerine, quickly softened by the delicate, slightly soapy aroma of neroli and orange blossom. This bright start deepens into a sophisticated heart where robust black tea blends seamlessly with subtle smoky and earthy undertones. The dry-down is a comforting embrace of creamy vanilla, warm benzoin, and a hint of myrrh, creating a smooth and elegant finish.
