I was given a single sachet sample of this, but I would definitely buy it one day if I were placing a Dammann Freres order. I really get burned out on chamomile in the evening pretty easily, so the discovery of green rooibos base teas was a thrill. And now here is a tea with mostly lemongrass base that smells so good in the pouch that you want to eat it like candy. This is sweet a d citrusy with a hont of vanilla and a little licorice scent.
I can’t see any star anise in my sachet but I definitely smell it. I wouldn’t mind the anise being stronger, but this is still so good. I had it with a Fortnum and Mason Raspberry and Rose Florentine because I had a bad case of snackies tonight. I am well satisfied.
This elegant little sample came from ashmanra and I saved it for a Sunday afternooner. The caramel made its presence known mostly through the scent, a little more gently throughout the top half of the cup and after it cooled … banana? Bananas foster? (That’s caramel-compatible, isn’t it?) A little unexpected twist there, but altogether, very tasty!

This was given to me as a sample when I went to the DF store in Paris. It was a really lovely experience, and the associate that assisted me was so nice and helpful.
This is a perfectly fine jasmine green tea. Jasmine teas still have a special place in my heart, as they were my first favorite tea.
A big thanks to derk for sending this one to me.
This was my first time trying a kiwi-flavored tea. The aroma is absolutely intoxicating. Very fruity and sweet but not quite like kiwi. It’s reminiscent of something like warm raspberry compote or jam.
The tea has a delicious fruity flavor. Juicy peach and tropical mango up front and a mild note of mint later. The flavoring is done well here despite the kiwi being a little hard to discern. Tastes very natural, not overpowering or fake. Cold brewing does bring out more of a kiwi-like tangy-sweet flavor. Enjoyed this a lot more than the other excessively perfumey DF teas I’ve had before .
Flavors: Kiwi, Mango, Peach, Raspberry, Tropical Fruit
