 Natural ingredientsJun 29, 2007
By James Rees
I ordered the Teisseire for making mai-tais after noticing that the Collins orgeat I had been using didn't even list almonds as an ingredient. When it came I had my family do a blind taste test for me. It actually tastes pretty similar to the Collins, both are sweet and taste like almonds. But the Teisseire has an additional nutty or earthy flavor that the Collins does not. It's made from almond extract, not just flavoring, and sugar, not corn syrup, and nothing with a scary chemical name.
It does cost almost twice as much, plus shipping, but it takes me months to go through a bottle so it's worth it for me. It has a very nice pour spout that eliminates the crusty buildup you get on a screw-top bottle like Collins. My only complaint is the metal container. You can't see how much is left, and I think glass would be less likely to impart a taste. Right now there is no metallic taste at all, but in six months who knows?
Note that the Amazon listing is wrong in a couple ways. The bottle is metal, not plastic, and the name is spelled "Teisseire." Yes, I know it looks plastic in the photo, but it really is metal shaped like that.

Very goodDec 16, 2009
By bfootdav
As far as I can tell this is the only "all natural" orgeat available on Amazon. Here are the ingredients: sugar, water, fructose, almond extract. Great but how does it compare to the other orgeats? The only other one I have on hand at the moment is from Fee Brothers. The Fee Bro. while being pretty good does come across as more "almond-like" than just tasting like actual almonds. It's almost too sharp. The Fee Bro. orgeat does contain some orange flavor (again "orange-like" not actual orange). Teisseire's orgeat tastes like almonds and it comes through nicely in the cocktails I tried it with (Mai Tai and Japanese). It doesn't have the orange or rose water that orgeats traditionally have but even without that it tastes better than Fee Brothers'. The lack of orange water makes it 4 stars instead of 5.

 Not recommendedMay 30, 2009
By Adam Machanic

I recently purchased this orgeat, as well as two other orgeats available on Amazon: Monin and Ferrara. I tried them in various cocktails and Teisseire came in last--a distant last--in every test. Compared with the other two it is thin and its flavor is too weak to stand up to other ingredients in a drink. I do give it bonus points for the nice bottle and pour spout, but it's certainly not worth its price and I do not recommend it for cocktail enthusiasts.
