Dammann Frères Advent Day 21 (21-February 2021)

This tea is delightful! The puffed rice blends nicely with the green base both the chocolate and orange is here and enjoyable. I really enjoy DF’s chocolate flavour, it makes me think of a thin chocolate biscuit one might have with tea. There’s hints of anise and hazelnut, but they stay in the background and are a lovely addition.

Lexa really liked this one too. This one will definitely make its way into a future DF order!

I really liked the maple syrup flavor here, but mine had way too much star anise in it, unfortunately.

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
