Dammann Freres and fragrant teas

If it is well known that the Chinese have always been lovers of fragrant teas (jasmine tea or rose tea for example), it is a lesser known fact that France fathered one of the most famous 20th century creations.

It is in fact Jean Jumeau-Lafond, Director of Dammann Freres until 1978, who created the Gout Russe tea during the 1950's. Baptized "Go?t Russe Douchka", this exceptional blend marries the teas of Ceylan, India and China with the flavours of bergamot and citrus.

Since then, Dammann Fr?res has never stopped creating new aromatic teas, enticing a whole new generation of tea lovers : this is how the fruit teas were born (blackcurrant, tangerine, apricot, cherry, mango, banana…) as well as spicy teas (cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, liquorice…).

Thus Dammann Fr?res created apple tea, a best seller in Japan since its launch.

In this way, from among all the Dammann Fr?res teas, certain fragrant blends have become true classics : the Christmas Tea (traditionnel tea at Christmas time, embellished with orange peel and pieces of fruit), the Quatre Fruits Rouges blend (cherry, strawberry, raspberry and currant), le Jardin Bleu tea (subtle blend of wild strawberry and rhubarb), the Oriental blend (a green tea flavoured with passion fruit and vine peaches), the Deux Chinois tea (mango, lime and coconut) or the Vieux Garçons tea (with flavours of caramelized apples enhanced with a touch of maraschino)…

And so many others waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.
