Imagine my surprise when I saw that Dammann Freres was being sold at Sur la Table.
This was a very nice Earl Grey and I especially dig the stylish tin, but…
seriously, Earl Grey Yin Zhen? I thought this was going to be a white tea scented with bergamot. Granted, I didn’t look closely enough to see that it was clearly marked Black tea with white tips. I found a few white buds in the tin, but I’ll chalk it up to a lame French marketing ploy. Just further hurts my impression of French tea purveyors. I’m not a big fan of the other “Freres” either. ;)
