Dammann Frères Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 20
Another green tea with fruit and bergamot flavouring… DF should’ve mixed up their selection a bit more this year (only green tea and tisanes remain, I believe).
It’s a nice mild bergamot, and not as jammy-sweet with the fruit as the last couple days – but still not my favourite. The green tea base has a more trampled-grass-field note then past days (Chinese sencha-like). The apricot flavouring is more tangy-sweet stone-fruit than under-ripe sour; the bergamot further brings out the tartness and brightness of the apricot. The vanilla adds an air of sophistication, and I’m glad to see it!
If this didn’t use Chinese Sencha I would like it more. The flavouring is good but I’ll never be a fan of that tea base.
Flavors: Apricot, Bergamot, Citrusy, Dry Grass, Floral, Fruity, Marine, Smooth, Stonefruit, Tangy, Tart, Vanilla

Lol, I said the same thing about two fruity bergamot green teas in a row! And you’re right, there were a ton of black teas early on, so I’m not surprised there aren’t any remaining…
I think we might have one black tea left (an apple one?)! But tisanes are definitely the lion’s share of our future at this point :P
I’m okay with that, there’s one tisane that I’m counting on being able to try! :D
Oh, yeah, I’m excited to try them too! I’d probably never buy them on their own, otherwise :)
