drank 4, 5, 6, Cueillir des Cérises by Dammann Frères

This smells very cherry-like! Almost on the edge of medicinal, but not quite.

The cherry flavour here is quite lovely. It’s not exactly in the background, but also doesn’t overpower the base. It seems quite balanced. There is no hints of floral, which I appreciate as that does sometimes happen with DF. The smell is much stronger than the flavour, but I’m not bothered as DF teas are usually quite delicate in flavour (which I prefer to the opposite).

Lexa was surprised and said “I certainly don’t mind this!”

I wouldn’t turn down another cuppa of this, but I don’t know if I’d get through 100g on my own very quickly.

Thanks for the share Cameron :)

This one was also very old, so that’s another reason the flavor was so subtle…

I enjoyed it this way! It may have been over the top if it were any fresher. :P

It’ll be very interesting to see how it tastes fresh when I order it again… It’s been so long I don’t remember. XD

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).
