Company description not available.
I got this a while back via Sil from MissB!
O. M. G. This tea is AMAZING. WHOA. I LOVE IT PLEASE CAN I HAVE MORE OMG.
Apparently it’s Damman Freres, so I’m sure I’ll be able to find it somewhere.
It’s SO FLAVOURFUL. I didn’t actually pick up on the cinnamon, mostly just intense floral (orange!) and the grapefruit and such complexity!
I’ve been steeping it in my new wee tea pot thinger IDEK, 20 seconds the first cup and 30-ish seconds the second cup. So good.
Thanks so much, MissB!
This is what I always think of as a “spa tea.” The combined flavour of the spices, fruits, and flowers is less of an appetizing meal and more of a perfume-like oil diffuser. It’s nose food, not tongue food.
That being said, I still found this pleasant enough to drink; the aroma was just way better. The green base is smooth (veering on butter), with a vegetal quality that teams up with the spices and citrus sours for an nippy parting gift. The finish is almost a dry “sparkling,” and grapefruit-like. It puts me in mind of ciders and grapefruit pop.
Also, when I put Butiki’s Flowery Pineapple, Janet’s Black Currant Rooibos, and this in a lineup for Mom she choose from she chose this one. I can report to Sil and MissB that this tea finally found its intended audience!
Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Floral, Grapefruit, Pepper, Sweet
someone mixed u my organisation and i ended up drinking this one again tonight even though i’d moved it out of my cupboard. boo. double boo because i’m not a huge fan and would prefer to pass it along in case someone else loves it. oopsy. what can i say? not my fault! this one is just still weird for me
Somehow missed this is a green and steeped it as a black. Now that it’s cold, all I’m getting is floral, drying notes, whereas the sweetness in the sip that I got while it was hot, has been relegated to the end of the gulp. Too bad, so sad.
Flavors: Drying, Flowers, Grapefruit, Sweet
what’s really weird about some of these is that they’re greens and recommended temp is near boiling… eep! can’t do it!
Try it for a minute. I’ve been experimenting with some of my non-black teas, and 195 (my standard) for 1 minute or 45 seconds is doing really well. I should post some notes. :)
i did it at 1.5 min…
so glad you enjoyed it haha
It’s one of those super weird teas that’s so intensely and differently flavoured that ♥!!! I don’t think I’d like to drink it all the time. I mean, I have a bunch of Earl of Anxi that’s about the same idea of this, and I rarely drink it…
Wow, this looks so interesting! Love the little pot, too! Very cute!
It was a seriously fascinating tea! I think ultimately I love the smell of it more than the taste, but such an experience. :)
