Noël à Venise

Black Tea by Dammann Freres

This scrumptious blend combines a rich black tea base with the scents of lemon meringue tarte and toffee. Sweet and comforting.
Recommended brewing time : 4 to 5 minutes

I drank this tea in the morning but this is more an afternoon tea.

To me the dry leaf scent is something like panettone’s aroma.
Probably due to the citrus present in the blend and in the recipe of Panettone.

The tea base is correct (mix of Ceylon and China blends)
Dammann’s promises were for a Lemon meringue pie & toffee.

Normally, with a Christmas tea, we expect an explosion of flavours.
Alas, it is not the case here.
The main flavours perceptible to me are lemon and toffee (more caramel than a real toffee).

I am a little bit disappointed with this Noël à Venise.
To be honest this is a good tea but a soon as drank, it’s immediatly forgotten… it’s not remaining any flavour in mouth. It’s a fleeting tea.

Disappointing for a DF tea and disappointing for a Christmas tea with such a Name and promise.

I won’t buy it again.
