Dammann Frères

This elegant little sample came from ashmanra and I saved it for a Sunday afternooner. The caramel made its presence known mostly through the scent, a little more gently throughout the top half of the cup and after it cooled … banana? Bananas foster? (That’s caramel-compatible, isn’t it?) A little unexpected twist there, but altogether, very tasty!

This was given to me as a sample when I went to the DF store in Paris. It was a really lovely experience, and the associate that assisted me was so nice and helpful.

This is a perfectly fine jasmine green tea. Jasmine teas still have a special place in my heart, as they were my first favorite tea.

A big thanks to derk for sending this one to me.

This was my first time trying a kiwi-flavored tea. The aroma is absolutely intoxicating. Very fruity and sweet but not quite like kiwi. It’s reminiscent of something like warm raspberry compote or jam.

The tea has a delicious fruity flavor. Juicy peach and tropical mango up front and a mild note of mint later. The flavoring is done well here despite the kiwi being a little hard to discern. Tastes very natural, not overpowering or fake. Cold brewing does bring out more of a kiwi-like tangy-sweet flavor. Enjoyed this a lot more than the other excessively perfumey DF teas I’ve had before .

Not sure how i feel about this one yet. I didn’t get a lot of banana in this one – more sort of a fruity business going on here. Not bad..but not quite what I was expecting maybe?

drool worthy and much needed today

It’s not caramel-toffee but it IS Caramel. and it IS delicious. So glad i picked this one up – now i have to try not to drink through it at record speed!
