Sipdown (1815)!

I recently placed a Dammann Freres order and this was one of the free sachet samples that was included. It was actually probably a really good sample pick because it’s something I definitely would not have selected for myself. I brewed it today and was pleasantly surprised, as well! Like most of DF’s blends, it’s not a heavily flavoured or sweet tea – but I did find it very aromatic and actually quite juicy for this particular style of tea blending. The most obvious note was a beautiful fresh orange that danced in the top notes and maintained in the body to a slightly milder extent. It was followed by a more floral and complex undertone of bergamot. Both citrus flavours, so obviously still very complimentary – but just a bit more “mature” tasting and less bright.

Would I buy this one? No, probably not – I don’t think I’d reach for it often enough. However, it was a very pleasant surprise and I’m glad I tried it because it was very fresh and pleasant.

I was sure I had reviewed this before, but no notes to be found. I have had this tea for a year. My eldest daughter, Superanna, who must love me very much if I can go by the tea she buys me, bought this for me in Amsterdam and then presented it to me in Derry, N.I. It has travelled a bit!

The dominant flavor today is orange, loud and clear, and it is a nice, natural orange. The tea is only lightly smoky to me.

One special treat today is that I am drinking this from a big sterling teapot. I have never used one before, and I am making storage bags for a relative’s silver and cleaning it to put it away for a little while. I was told I could use it, and in fact, told I could keep it here if I wished, but I will be storing it elsewhere. It is over $100 to buy the special storage bags but I got the fabric for $20 and I am hand sewing bags for her.

In the meantime, I thought it was a good chance to see if it is true that tea tastes better from sterling (well, it tastes GOOD but I am not sure if it tastes BETTER) and also I read that it stays hit longer. It is certainly staying warm for a long time, but I need to time it side by side with a ceramic pot to know for sure.

I do know that if I ever buy a silver pot, it will be smaller. This one is about forty ounces and I think I would be more comfortable handling something about half this size. So maybe I need two! One large and one small!
