Dammann Frères Advent 2021 – Day 2

Although fruit/hibiscus herbals are not typically my thing, this one would make a great jam or fruit butter (lilikoi butter is divine). Great, vivid passion fruit flavour here (Ok, this is tasty once it has cooled for 15min).

PS – I’m going to try and work on keeping these advent calendar posts shorter from now on because Adventaggedon.

Flavors: Candy, Hibiscus, Jam, Passion Fruit, Raspberry, Tart

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec

I’m so happy to see a Carcadet blend! We’ll be doing the DF calendar in February and I also added 2 carcadet blends in my cart to order in general, but very few have reviews on Steepster so it seemed so risky!

Naturally, I went to check my online cart and looks what I came across: https://www.dammann.fr/en/carcadet-passion-framboise-fruit-infusion-jelly.html!

Oh my gosh! Of course they have a jam version for this jam tea. That’s definitely getting added to a follow up DF order.

When you get around to trying this I hope you are able to taste the passion fruit flavour; it makde this one shine for me! I notice the other notes didn’t really pick up on it though, so not sure if I just got lucky with my allotted fruit pieces :P

Courtney

I think DF does passionfruit really well and I adore passionfruit, so it’s just the best!

Crowkettle

My next order with them will likely have a theme now..

Courtney

Oh yes haha! I added this one to my cart: https://www.dammann.fr/en/oriental-noir.html (but there are quite a few with passionfruit if you use the search function)!

I love their Noël à Pekin and Miss Dammann for passion fruit teas!

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

FAVOURITE INGREDIENTS/NOTES:

DESSERT FLAVOURS
Vanilla, Maple, Caramel, Butterscotch, Cream, Toffee, Nougat, Marzipan, Butter

FRUIT & BERRIES
Citrus Fruits, Passionfruit, Banana, Pineapple, Melons, Blackberry, Raspberry, Currants, Elderberry, Persimmon, Rhubarb..

SPICES
Ginger, Turmeric, Clove-forward chai, Cardamom

AROMATIC & HERBACEOUS NOTES
Sandalwood, Frankincense, Juniper, Eucalyptus, Mints

FLORALS
Lavender, Jasmine, Rose, Lilac, Violet, etc.

VEGGIE/GRAIN NOTES
Spinach, Grass, Hay, Cucumber, Rice, Sweet Potato

Less Preferred Flavours/Ingredients:
Stevia, Apple, Cocoa Nib, Almond, Licorice, Cinnamon-forward blends, Chinese Sencha

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
