Acquired during a Parisian sojourn, Dammann Frères’ My Madeleine rooibos blend is an olfactory and gustatory reverie. The aroma is a tender embrace of freshly baked confections, like a delicate vanilla cake.
Unlike David’s Tea’s Birthday Cake rooibos, which can verge on the overwhelming with artificial sweetener, My Madeleine exudes a refined balance—its fragrance sumptuous yet never cloying, indulgent yet never excessive. It captures the very essence of its namesake with effortless grace, offering a sip of nostalgia wrapped in warmth. As comforting as a well-worn volume of Proust.
