Dammann Frères Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 11
Glad to see some of the non-caffeinated blends show up in this advent; there are a few of them and I’d rather not see them all clumped together near the end!
Rooibos is usually a “meh” for me but this blend won me over as soon as I ripped open the packet and could smell its glorious (and on point) lemony madeleine aroma. My mom even thought it was a cookie and was pretty disappointed to find it was “just a tea bag” when she opened her eyes.
I didn’t want to taste a lot of woody rooibos tonight, so added milk, then I poured another cup from the pot and drank it plain; both styles are tasty. I’m satisfied with the amount of lemon, almond and biscuit flavour I get – even if I can still pick up the sweet tobacco profile of rooibos here and there. It’s a lovely way to wrap up the evening.
Flavors: Almond, Butter, Cake, Citrus, Cookie, Lemon, Nutty, Smooth, Sweet, Tobacco, Vanilla, Woody
