Dammann Frères Rooibos Citrus Tea Bags

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Rooibos Citrus opens with a bright, inviting aroma—zesty citrus notes rising first, followed by the warm, rounded character of rooibos. As it steeps, the Cristal® sachet reveals a clear amber infusion, glowing with warmth while carrying a refreshing aromatic lift.

On the palate, the experience is immediately vibrant. Orange and lemon notes lead the profile, offering a clean, natural citrus brightness that feels fresh rather than sharp. There is a gentle tang that awakens the palate, balanced by the soft sweetness inherent to rooibos.

The rooibos base provides structure and calm. It brings a smooth, slightly honeyed quality with subtle nutty and woody undertones, grounding the citrus elements and preventing the infusion from becoming overly acidic. This balance creates a cup that feels both energizing and soothing at once.

As the infusion settles, the citrus softens into a more rounded, almost candied peel character, leaving a pleasant, lingering finish. The texture remains clean and light, with no bitterness, allowing the flavors to stay clear and composed.

Thanks to the Cristal® sachet, the ingredients are able to fully expand, delivering a well-defined infusion where citrus and rooibos remain in harmony. The result is a cup that feels refreshing, approachable, and effortlessly elegant. Brew this ideally at 100°C. Steep for 5–6 minutes.

A Fresh Expression of Rooibos

Dammann Frères, established in 1692, is celebrated for its refined approach to tea blending, where balance and aromatic clarity are paramount. Rooibos Citrus reflects this philosophy, pairing South African rooibos with bright citrus elements in a composition that feels both simple and precise.

Rather than overwhelming the base, the citrus is carefully measured to enhance the rooibos’ natural softness. Presented in Cristal® sachets, the blend is allowed to fully раскрыть its character—each note unfolding with clarity and intention.

It is a modern, refreshing interpretation of rooibos—clean, vibrant, and quietly sophisticated.
