Dammann Freres 2022 advent calendar Day 5. Now we’re talking! I absolutely adore marzipan, and the dry leaf of this smells like marzipan. Brewed up, I can taste the cherry and almond. It’s not marzipan, but it is cozy. Plus I got a good second steep out of it, with the flavors still pretty much the same. Apparently this is supposed to taste like gingerbread, but I’m really not getting that. Between this and the flocons d’épices blend yesterday, I’m starting to conclude that either I can’t make out Dammann’s gingerbread flavoring very well or the flavoring is relatively faint. Which is a bit of a shame because I love actual gingerbread, but better to learn it with samples than entire bags/boxes of a blend.
Flavors: Almond, Cherry
