drank Pu-Erh Gourmand by Dammann Frères
3494 tasting notes

We drank about seven pots of this tea yesterday and today. I had a lot of guests and the young people really love puerh. They were having a massive Munchkin game with seven add ons plus legends, using dungeons. And they drank tea the whoooooooole time. I spent most of the game running to the kitchen to heat the water and then fetching a new pot back in.

Youngest has fallen in love with this one, and wanted to know tonight if we had much of the “sugar cookie puerh” as she likes to call it. I told her we did and she said that she loves having a pot to herself to sip on as she draws and reads. I guess I need to order some more of this sugar cookie flavored dream as a Christmas gift for her. She loves their Lapsang Souchong Crocodile as well, so that will make the shipping a little more bearable.

The base is lightly earthy, dark but without bitterness, and the flavoring is sweet biscuit (and yes, you really do taste delicious biscuit!) with caramel and vanilla. We were able to resteep three or four times western style with ease and with good flavor remaining. Well done!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
