With an attack of delicate chocolate flavours, this tea develops in the cup rich and gourmet aromas combining woody notes of Keemun tea to those of caramel and hazelnut. A fine-bodied drink with an enveloping praline finish and subtle hint of honey flavour. Ideal for tea-time with a slice of praline or chocolate cake.

Comparison: Mon Petit Chocolat & Mon Petit Praliné (apologies as I’ll be posting the same note on both teas)!
MPC (notes: chocolate, cocoa, biscuit, almond): At first sniff, this one smells very chocolate-y. The taste comes through as chocolate, albeit quite thin (though I more or less expect this of DF). Then there is the ‘biscuit’ flavour – which is one of my favourite DF flavours. It adds a complexity that makes me think of having biscuits and tea. A says she gets all chocolate. We both prefer this one!
MPP (notes: chocolate, hazelnut, caramel, honey): At first sniff, this one smells nutty, but I can’t pinpoint anything more specific. I don’t get as much chocolate flavour here, if any. There is the scent that translates to the taste that’s also difficult to pinpoint. My guess is that it’s a raw hazelnut flavour. It’s not bad, but it would be nice to have more chocolate with it. A says she gets hazelnut followed by hints of caramel.
Sipdown! (99 | 196)
I’m not sure what to think of this one, it almost tastes bland to me? There’s a light sweetness and a hint of hazelnut, but otherwise I mostly just taste the woody black base. Maybe a tiny hint of chocolate flavor?
Strange, because Mon Petit Chocolat is fairly strongly flavored.

Dammann Frères Advent 2021 – Day 19
Yes, I prefer this to Mon Petit Chocolat because my hang-up towards almond is more severe than I thought it was (unless that almond tries to be marzipan; then I love it). Drinking it with milk, so can’t comment on how thin it is; the milk bulks out the chocolate-like hazelnut, although it still starts off pretty gentle. As I work through the pot, there is a honey-caramel component to the finish that reminds me all the world of a Cadbury Crunchie bar.
EDIT: there was enough leftover in the pot to try without milk and, I don’t know – but I like it too? It’s different though. Not as much hazelnut, more woody Keemun and Crunchie bar. Something about this tea is drying, which is fine. I like Keemun and have happy vague travel memories associated with it.

Having this with milk. I used two spoons of leaf.
Richly layered chocolate nuttiness. The base comes through beautifully.
I much prefer this to H & S’s Florence that I drank the other day, though to be fair, I used only one and a half spoons there, so it is not a fair comparison.
