Another of the tagalongs from my Dammann advent order. I’m not sure what possessed me to choose this one, I’m not one to order a plain peach black tea. I do enjoy peach, I just find it boring I suppose? Plus I already had a plum/peach tea in my order. It must have been the mention of apricot that drew me in!
The flavor here is somewhat light, but I’m really enjoying it in this case. The beginning of the sip is mostly the base tea, smooth and woody with a bit of malt. The peach starts appearing in the middle, and then I’m left with a lovely true-to-life peach flavor in my mouth at the end and in the aftertaste. It’s somewhere between fresh and stewed peach, a nice combination of the two. I think I taste some apricot, but honestly it’s hard to distinguish from the peach flavor. The woodiness of the base tea combined with the sweetness creates a suggestion of vanilla, even though none is there.
A lovely tea with a restrained peachy flavor, perfect for the afternoon. I can imagine this being served at a tea party, accompanied by scones and teacakes. I hope someday all of us Steepsterites can come together for a fancy tea party weekend or something!

The Dammann advent is so pretty! I had it last year and it was just such a nice treat each day. I decided against it though because I feel like the teas overlap year to year.
For sure, at least it’s guaranteed that all of the Christmas Tea variants will be there. Luckily I haven’t had it in a couple of years so hopefully there will be plenty of things I haven’t tried. I love the color they chose this year, it’s a bright coral and very pretty.
Ooh, I’ve never ordered a tea advent calendar. What other companies do ones that might be amazing?
There’s a thread about them on the discussion boards: https://steepster.com/discuss/42114-2020-tea-advent-calendar
The ones I’ve tried and liked are Dammann Frères, Bird & Blend, Palais des Thés, and Simpson & Vail. 52teas also does a 12 day box that’s very popular. Apparently Kusmi does one now that I’m hoping to try this year as well.
Ooh I forgot about Simpson & Vail! Thanks for the tip. :)
I haven’t seen one from them this year yet, I don’t know if they still make it or not.
