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.
Also, I’m glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better!
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
Intriguing! I do love a blueberry jam (and all blueberry things). :) Thanks for the tip!
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.
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
Exactly. But yesterday’s simple strawberry black was a bit boring after all the froufrou.
Glad you are feeling better.
