Dammann Frères Advent Calendar – December 5th
Ooh, a rooibos today. I know a lot of people who aren’t fans of rooibos, but I happen to like it a lot, especially when it’s well-flavored (as DF tends to do!). The package is such a happy and bright yellow-orange color, and it made me smile when I saw it inside the little door. There are a few small pieces of citrus peel and some yellow flower petals mixed in the with rooibos base. Whoa, the dry scent surprised me. I could smell the citrus, definitely, a combination of lemon and some type of orange. However, it also smelled almost effervescent? So I looked at the description again, and found that it also has “kola” flavor. Doesn’t exactly come to mind when I think of a citrus tea, but I’ll go with it!
I can definitely smell the cola in the steeped tea, and it reminds me of the cola-flavored Bottlecaps candies. Hm, this is a bit strange! I can taste the red rooibos, and then there’s an effervescent cola quality, which for some reason makes the citrus end of this lean more toward lime rather than lemon/orange. So it sort of becomes similar to a lime-flavored cola. However, near the end the cola sort of dissipates and I can taste the lemon and clementine flavors clearly. This is definitely a strange one. Not bad, but unusual.
Aww… Cola isn’t an available flavor to select…

Wow, definitely strange!
I know! Crazy Frenchies. :P
Interesting, I was going to get their cola-flavoured black when I tried to make an order the other month. Sounds like they nailed the cola flavour!
sounds really unique! I wonder how you make a tea taste effervescent?
Fjellrev, to be honest it reminded me more of cola-flavored Bottlecaps than actual cola. Not sure if that makes a difference. :P
I don’t know why, but for some reason that is what I was expecting anyway haha. Well actually, more so the cola bottle gummy candies.
Happy Cola! Ha ha… :D But yes, definitely more of a cola-flavored candy flavor.
