drank Oolong Châtaigne by Dammann Frères
1443 tasting notes

I made this cup to enjoy with an amazing carrot cake that Lex whipped up to brighten the day! Then I finished enjoying it while we decorated the Christmas tree!

Now that I’ve decided it’s all hazelnuts and cocoa, I’m thoroughly enjoying it!

If anyone is interested, the tree is on my Instagram story here: https://instagram.com/stories/biologistcourtney/2437620911350637444?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=evut5u1eqxlg

Edit: Making a teapot of this now to enjoy while watching The Holiday and then Four Christmases! Lex says it tastes exactly like roasted chestnuts (she grew up eating them every holiday season)!

Christmas already?!? This does sound really good, and I was just thinking about what kind of tea to make once I finish my cold brew… which is less enjoyable with the blustery snow going on out there. I might prepare myself a cup of this!

I just got out of bed and saw that with the insane wind it’s -20? No, thank you! Making myself a cup of Yuchi Wild Mountain now.

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
