Uh oh. Hi there. Morning, 7.40 am – two hours till my train to job (and lunch). It is not best thing ever. But summer-job is good and well paid, so I can not complain.
This tea – I think I wanted to rate it, but Steepster was funky again and does not let me. But it works now. I have it in sachet right now.
I think I did recommended 4-5 minutes steep, although I wanted make it weaker. Whatever.
It is, as expected from Dammann Freres, very floral in aroma. But then different notes appear. Poppy seeds (love it btw), almonds, marzipan, pastry, biscuits… sweet notes!
In tastes it changes abruptly though. Tends to fruity notes now – mostly raspberry, wild strawberry, other berries. Combined with almonds, maybe bit of marzipan. It is quite sweet for my tooth.
Overall, it is quite good, but bit too sweet.
Flavors: Almond, Cookie, Marzipan, Raspberry, Strawberry, Sweet

I received this in my first ever swap, and it was from teaequalsbliss, I think. I loved it so much my daughter bought some for me as a gift and that was when tea as gifts first started!
I had this one years ago, and still remember it as being an extremely pastry-like dessert tea!

So many tea memories!
