No. Just no. This is day 7 of the Dammann Freres advent calendar (I’m suuuuper behind but hoping to finish it off in the next month or so). I just really didn’t like this one. It smells and tastes like Bazooka Joe bubble gum, which is not a profile that I ever expected, wanted, or, as it turns out, enjoyed in a tea. One of the rare teas I couldn’t even bring myself to finish.

Flavors: Bubblegum

Those are flavors I would never have expected in a Christmas tea!

Lol a few of their teas taste like bubblegum to me too, and this is one of them. :P

So good to know I’m not alone! Day 10 has mysteriously disappeared from my advent calendar. Since that’s the black Christmas Tea though, I’m not sure I’m missing much? It’s bugging me because I don’t want to go out of order or have to skip a day, but I don’t feel especially distraught about the specific blend that I might not get to try.

I actually like their regular Christmas Tea, it’s more fruity than anything which is unusual. I know with my advent last year, some of the sachets slipped out of their spots and I had to go hunting for them in lower slots. Does kind of spoil the surprise though lol.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll do some extra digging!
