This one has a lovely aroma, and I do taste a lot of strawberry pastry here, but there is a bit of something floral in the background – rose, maybe? I don’t know, I’m not super confident identifying perfume-y notes since I don’t care for floral teas, but there is something there that makes this one not a total win for me. I really am enjoying the cup despite that, and I find the floral note is dissipating somewhat as it cools.
This is another one from the samples Courtney delivered to my house last week, and so far I haven’t been disappointed with Dammann Frères.
Preparation
3 min, 30 sec
I feel the same about this one. The DF have some floral notes, but most fade away once the tea is steeped. This one was not the case, sadly.
