This is a sample that came with my order. It looks like a nice enough blend on paper, I mean – mango, rose petals? Other delightful fruity things?
But then there’s Dammann Frères’ ginger. And boy, is their ginger not for me. It’s a faux-exotic ginger. It’s a dirty ginger. I don’t know if I can explain it better. It’s just so medicinal.
Furthermore, this tea isn’t at all as well-balanced as I’ve come to expect from DF. Both in the bag and in the cup, and both in terms of scent and flavour, the ginger overpowers everything else.
In additional news, tonight’s game is killing me.
