1900 L’heure De Proust

Paris, Belle Epoque.

Proust and a confidante at Bains Guerbois share secrets over tea after a steam bath.

Black blueberry and pomelo tea aromas mingle with Tuscan leather, violet, guaiac wood, and ambery vanilla. Perfumes intertwine, leaving one to wonder whose scent is more divine.A zesty grapefruit and tangy blueberry herald teatime.

The tea arrives black, intense, and subtly smoked, accompanied by sweet treats, evoking memories of Proust's famous madeleine.
