Another sample found during my tea reorganization. I thought I might like this one best, but I really feel like it just left me confused. Some reviews say it was too sweet, but I didn’t find it that sweet, and I don’t add sugar or anything to my hot tea.

The blueberry is nice, and I found the chestnut rather strong, just nothing close to the overwhelming taste of one or two other chestnut teas I tried. (I’m looking at you, Adagio Chestnut.) I didn’t get the maple much. The blueberry and chestnut were shifting and eclipsing each other throughout the cup, thus my confusion.

Not one I am likely to order, but I enjoyed this cup. It’s probably just me.

I think I have yet to try this one, but it sounds like a yummy combination!

DF Advent Day 17 (17-Feb 2022)

Wow — both the blueberry scent and taste here are strong, but well done and somehow not cloying or obnoxious. There is a maple aspect here as well that adds to this as well. There is a natural sweetness here, but yet not a sweetness? This is akin to blueberry maple syrup – delightful.

This is not one I need in my cupboard, but tasty nonetheless.

Either this tea is too sweet for me fullstop or I shouldn’t have reached for a flavoured tea today. Or maybe it is one of those that, according to CrowKettle, needs milk.

I had no idea that this blend contained maple. Had I known, I would have saved it for another day.

Blueberry and chestnut—that’s what I signed up for. But I was counting on blueberry and chestnut of the North American Imagination: roasted chestnuts and fresh blueberries. Granted, an odd combination.

Instead, I think what is going on here is the highly sweetened chestnut purée, sweetened with maple syrup, with a sprinkling of blueberries.

Probably needs milk. None in the house at the moment and snowmageddon outside, so going the the store is out.

It’s fine. Just not something I am in the mood for today.

Edit—also should have read CrowKettle’s note before selecting this. Oh, regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention…

Crowkettle

Yeah, I find this one too sweet. I wish it was toned down or completely void of maple.

Evol Ving Ness

Ayup. Unsatisfying tea day. A spoon of my Keemun classic probably would’ve fixed this experience for me.

The maple is absolutely superfluous. Actually, I think DF should leave the maple alone altogether. Theirs is a nice quality maple, but using it in blends with other notable flavours is just way too fussy. I would appreciate it more in a straight maple tea or smoky maple or something uncomplicated.

Crowkettle

I think I agree with you. It’s overly busy and overwhelming to taste.

I don’t mind the DF’s banana blueberry flavoured oolong though! Blueberry is such an intense flavour on it’s own and maybe it’s better served by a light, creamy accompaniment – like vanilla or banana. Or that’s my preferences speaking :P

Evol Ving Ness

Agreed. Maybe a soft lemon cloud too.

Dammann Frères Advent 2021 – Day 17

I’m behind on DF. Didn’t want to (and couldn’t) drink them while still nauseous – they’re generally lovely but perfumed, which is not a good mix with lingering food poisoning. So now I have four teas tonight! (scratch that. I got to two of them)

This one is pretty sweet, almost cloyingly so! “Blueberry and maple want to drip all over your pancakes and waffles” levels of sweet (I’m drinking this with the “breakfast for dinner,” so good pairing). Also, chestnuts, but they’re pretty subtle here. It’s a nice tea without milk, but in effort to cut the sweetness I’m taking it with! Still good.

Flavors: Blueberry, Chestnut, Malt, Maple Syrup, Sweet

Ooh, fascinating! Another I’ve waffled over in my DF cart haha.

Courtney

Also, I’m glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better!

Crowkettle

Thank you :)

This is very much a blueberry (syrup) tea. This might work for you if you’re in the mood for something sweeter; I’m still not quite up for this level of sweetness. :P

Courtney

Intriguing! I do love a blueberry jam (and all blueberry things). :) Thanks for the tip!

Evol Ving Ness

Also, yay you, for feeling better!

I find the abundant flavouring of French teas a bit much after a couple of days, even with the teas that I adore. I’m taking a wee break and drinking straight or simple teas for a bit.

Crowkettle

Agreed. The French teas are not everyday drinkers, and I’ve found myself craving the “builder” teas that gmathis loves. I want something brisk and honest these days :P

Evol Ving Ness

Exactly. But yesterday’s simple strawberry black was a bit boring after all the froufrou.

EmmaM

Glad you are feeling better.
