Dammann Frères Advent 2021 – Day 7

DF is nailing it with the passion fruit flavouring. It’s a nice mix of honey-like citrus and tropical fruit notes, with an increasingly zesty, warm ginger as the tea cools. As a huge fan of lime, ginger, and tropical fruits I approve. I’d love to pick up more of this to try as a cold brew. Or just drink it like this.

Steep Count: 2

Flavors: Citrus, Ginger, Grass, Honey, Lemon, Lime, Passion Fruit, Spicy, Sweet, Tropical, Wood

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 3 min, 0 sec

This and the Carcadet Passion Framboise are just wow on the passion fruit front. Didn’t know what I was missing!

No, I don’t think it is, but passionfruit.

Yeah, I’ve composed a DF passion fruit shopping cart that I know is not going to be explored during the advent. Whoops.

It’s only three, right? Very reasonable.

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.
