Mory Sacko X DAMMANN Frères

Long associated with traditional rituals – breakfast, afternoon snacks and tea time – tea is gradually breaking free from these conventions without turning its back on them. As alcohol-free drinking reshapes the way we experience the table, tea is taking on a new role: more assertive, yet also more subtle. A language of pairing in its own right. Tea is finding its place at the table, engaging in a dialogue with cuisine and accompanying the finest gastronomic experiences with a legitimacy comparable to that of traditional pairings. Viewed in this way, tea becomes a complete, contemporary and convivial experience. An ingredient now approached with the same attention as fine wines, even sharing their notions of terroir, prestigious origins and exceptional harvests.

“I like DAMMANN Frères’ African Breakfast blend for its invigorating character. Opulent, rich and deep, it is a morning tea that can be enjoyed with a touch of milk and pairs beautifully with a buckwheat pancake.” Mory Sacko

“I love the wonderfully rounded character of DAMMANN Frères’ Genmaïcha, with its puffed and roasted rice. It offers all the subtlety you would expect from a nuanced Japanese tea, both indulgent and vegetal. I often enjoy it during quiet moments.” Mory Sacko

DAMMANN Frères’ hibiscus comes as whole flower buds, which greatly enhances its intensity when brewed. It is the base for bissap, a drink I have enjoyed since childhood and one that always brings me back home.” Mory Sacko
