Dammann Frères Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 1
Excited to see an older Dammann tea that I’ve never tried! Considering I’ve had this advent several times, the odds are fairly low. Nice that they change it up outside of just adding the new teas from that year!
This is Earl Grey mixed with jasmine green tea and vanilla. I expected to like it and I do! The beginning of the sip tastes like a jasmine green and then the bergamot sort of pokes its head out mid-sip. A touch of creamy vanilla also appears, and then the finish is all citrusy-floral bergamot and light creaminess.
It’s interesting how the jasmine and bergamot really meld together and become almost indistinguishable toward the end. It’s a very light and soothing variation of Earl Grey, lovely as an afternoon tea. I don’t think I would order it, mostly because I have other jasmine teas I love from Dammann (looking at you, Noël à Pékin) and other Earl Greys that I would drink more often. But loved trying it!
Flavors: Bergamot, Creamy, Floral, Grassy, Jasmine, Milky, Smooth, Sweet, Vanilla

Happy First Advent Day!!
It is FINALLY here.
Sounds like an interesting blend, glad to hear you enjoyed.
I’m surprised how much I like DF’s black/green blends. Glad they included it :)
I think it makes more sense when it’s a jasmine green tea versus just mixing plain black and green teas.
So weird! Just posted my note before reading the rest and I didn’t pick up on the jasmine at all. Which, on the one hand, is a bummer, but also I feel like it was still delicious so I’m ok with it.
