Dammann Frères Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 4
Oof! This was also in last year’s advent, but this year I’m getting some of that bubblegum note that Cameron B. mentions. I think it’s because the orange essential oil is so strong and bright; it’s an excellent orange flavour but it tips this tea into fruitier territory than I’m used to seeing in gingerbread. I do find there’s something “bread-like” about the tea though (and a splash of vanilla) – if not “cookie-like” as I would expect.
The medley of spices provide the cup with warm and woody tones; it’s a low, burning simmer of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves that contrasts nicely with the high, zesty notes of citrus peel, ginger, and pine. It’s a cozy, round cup so I’ll keep my original rating in 70’s .
