Delicious combination of a blend of black teas with a light and gourmet note evoking brioche and the fruity one of sweet orange and, discreet but pleasant the one of sweet almond. Reminiscent the famous Lombard brioche, a cup with a round and velvety structure to really enjoy like a treat!

I hesitate to even leave a tasting note for this one because I don’t think I am adding much to the conversation. I have to agree with everyone else, this tea is spot on :) It tastes just like you hope it would taste: buttery and very light. It’s lovely and it makes me think of Christmas.

Even with milk, the velvety butter and almond notes peak through to create the illusion of a festive marzipan orange dessert. It’s decadent, but not cloying or heavy (yes, I get brioche).
My mother, who is once again partaking in this advent journey, loves it too (her rating: 5/5), and even enabled me to buy more (“it’s not so expensive to get this shipped from France?” Dangerous).
Flavors: Almond, Bread, Butter, Cake, Citrus, Honey, Orange, Sweet
Dammann Freres 2022 advent calendar Day 2. Like Day 1, I brewed this up in a little Western-style teapot so I could drink it from a teacup & saucer set. When I saw the company describe this as evoking brioche, I hoped it might be similar to or a dupe for ATR’s Brioche. Unfortunately it’s not, but it is tasty! It’s bready and has a fun candy orange note. It pairs nicely with a Te Company pineapple linzer, which has a similar flavor profile. Plus it holds up well on the second steep. I’ve never had panettone so I can’t speak to flavor accuracy, but I enjoyed it anyway!

Ooh, excited to try this one! My husband is Italian-American so we generally buy a panettone around the holidays every year.
This is honestly spot-on and I’m very impressed. It tastes just like an orangey brioche, which is essentially what panettone is. Super buttery and silky smooth with the perfect amount of sweet yet fresh orange flavor. It sounds decadent, but actually it tastes quite light, which is perfect for a light and fluffy panettone. The only thing it’s missing for me is the raisins, which I can live without.
Very scrumptious, this will definitely go on my to-order list!
Flavors: Bread, Butter, Cake, Nuts, Orange, Orange Zest, Smooth, Sweet
Now I want to eat a panettone!
Me too lol! We’ll have to get one soon so I can devour it… :D
Chocolate chip panettone > raisin panettone
Honestly I’m not a fan of the chocolate ones! :P
Nooo, chocolate is the way to go! Haha.
Chocolate you say? I’ll have to keep an eye out for that version.
Yesss, don’t listen to Cameron, the chocolate ones are the best! :P
Ha ha, I love chocolate but I feel like it overpowers everything else when it’s in pastry.
That’s fair. I do love chocolate in pastry though! Pain au chocolat, mmm…
We make a homemade one where we soak all sorts of dried fruits in rum and amaretto and add lots of zest. It’s a ton of work, so we definitely don’t make it often enough!
I’ve never had panettone but this tea sounds delicious. The orange one sounds yummy.
@AJ that sounds incredible! Drooling over here.
There is a coffee shop in Oakland that gets chocolate croissants that have little bits of candied orange peel in them and they are AMAZING! I’m imagining chocolate panettone to be in a similar flavor profile.
That sounds so good Dustin ! And yup, it does sound similar to the chocolate panettone I’ve had. Shame I can’t try those croissants to compare.
Tastes just like a panettone! I really enjoyed this blend… It’s citrusy, nutty, and a tiny bit sweet. My Panettone is such a nostalgic treat for me, lovely for the holidays.
Flavors: Almond, Cake, Citrus, Honey, Nutty, Orange, Sweet
You know when you take a sip and omg, this is the most amazing thing ever comes to you?
Well, yes. Freshly baked homemade butter tart with extremely buttery perfectly baked caramelized pastry with whispers of orange blossom water and toasted almonds.
Happy Christmas to you all, Steepsters! <3
Who was it that said, “life isn’t measured in years, but in moments?” I’m glad you had a few of them with what sounds like an absolutely perfect cuppa. Merry Christmas.
Thank you. Why, yes, yes I did and yes, it was. Moments, yes. A moment of near-perfection can last a lifetime. Happy Christmas to you and yours, gmathis.
Beautiful! May you have many more moments, and some of them soon!
Thank you, ashmanra, and you too.
Merry Christmas! :)
Merry Christmas! :)
This tea sounds amazing! Butter Tarts are the best.
Merry Christmas!
Especially the ones that are so fresh that the filling is dribbling down your arm.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas :)
