The delicate and floral freshness of white tea shoots combined with the warm, round flavors of neroli and orange blossom. A subtly scented, delicate tea: an invitation to calm and serenity.

Dammann Frères Advent Calendar – Day 3
It’s lovely to see an orange flavoured white tea that’s balanced to compliment, not overpower the base tea or be particularly sweet. It leans towards aromatic citrus blossoms and a tranquil floral palette, rather than a lively, juicy-sweet citrus. Notes of cucumber, unripe melon, and other green things, make this tea feel like a day at the spa.
Imo, flavoured white tea blends often have chemistry problems — where the flavour pairings either diminish or clash with the original tea’s subtle but distinctive profile. This is gladly not the case here. Judging by taste and appearance, DF also made the decadent choice to use a silver needle variety. It pays off.

Cold Brew!
This was really interesting because the body was pretty light but the flavour itself had surprisingly depth and complexity. It’s top notes were all soft citrus with aromatic bright orange elements that reminded me of the gentle spray of essential oils when you peel something like a Christmas orange. The flavour was darker and had a more heady and perfumed orange element. I know that’s coming from the neroli, but I’m not super familiar with neroli so my brain sort of interpreted it more like bergamot but with a sort of slightly caramelized sugar element? Not the sweetness of caramelized sugar though! I would definitely NOT call this is a sweet tea. More than anything it was the “maillard” part that just tastes kind of… brown? I couldn’t decide if I liked it or not because at times it was pleasant and refreshing but if I drank too much at once it almost made a film on my palate that got to be a little too floral and intense.
I’m so curious now to experience this hot and see how that effects the flavor.
