sniff, sigh, sniff, steep, sip, sip, sip … Well, hallelujah! orchestral music plays. I’ve found my “if there could be only one” tea (for now, anyway). I received my Dammann Frères package today, and I’m walking on clouds because this one seems to be made perfectly, exactly for me. Like damn royalty. ;0. I adore creamy lemon desserts, and lemon curd is heaven to me, but I was worried about this blend being too sharp, too overpowering, or single note … and it is not. I think the papaya tempers the acidity of the lemon, and the caramel toffee adds just the perfect complement of sweet smoothness and creaminess without hogging the stage. I audibly sighed with pleasure when I first opened and sniffed the package, because it smelled perfect, but I steeled myself, because I often find that with flavored teas, the aroma can be much more compelling than the brew. Not so in this case! I’m only on my second cup, but it’s wonderful with milk, and wonderful black, and I’m in love love love.

This sounds heavenly!
It’s sooo yum! Now I’m just terrified that I’ll wake up tomorrow and make it exactly the same way, and it will be different … which seems to happen sometimes with me and tea. But nah. Not gonna happen. The Tea Gods have smiled on me is what it is, and who am I to doubt their gift? :P
I love love love this one, too! Lemon cream puff heaven! ❤
