Dammann Frères: Three Centuries of French Tea Excellence, Cup by Cup

A Legacy Born Under a Royal Seal

Few consumer brands anywhere in the world can claim a history stretching back to the Sun King. Dammann Frères received its original charter from Louis XIV himself in 1692 — a royal privilege that established the house as the pre-eminent supplier of tea in France. Over three centuries later, that pedigree lives on in every carefully sourced leaf.

The brand is now headquartered on the Place des Vosges in Paris, one of the most beautiful squares in the world. Visiting the flagship boutique is an experience in itself — but now, you don't have to travel to France to discover it.

The Art of the French Blend

Dammann Frères works with tea gardens across India, China, Japan, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Africa to source leaves of exceptional quality. But what sets the house apart is its mastery of blending — the ability to combine origins, botanicals, and aromas into something entirely new and distinctly French.

Their signature creations include the legendary Jardin Bleu, the floral L'Opéra, and dozens of seasonal and regional specialties. Each blend tells a story — of a landscape, a season, or a culinary tradition — with a clarity of flavor that distinguishes a great blend from a merely good one.

Packaging That's Already a Gift

Dammann Frères tins and boxes are among the most beautiful tea packaging produced anywhere in the world. The lacquered tins with their hand-illustrated motifs are collector's items in their own right — designed to be kept, refilled, and displayed long after the tea inside has been enjoyed.

Opening a Dammann Frères tin for the first time is a small ceremony: the scent rises before you've brewed a single cup. That's the difference between tea as a beverage and tea as an experience.

The Connoisseur's Gift

A beautifully wrapped selection of Dammann Frères teas is the kind of gift that works for everyone — the dedicated tea drinker, the curious newcomer, the host who loves to entertain with flair. It speaks of thoughtfulness, of Francophile taste, and of a genuine desire to give something lasting. Available at The French Store Columbus for gifting year-round.

A Story Born Between Two Worlds

The French Store is the passion project of Benjamin, a Frenchman who fell in love with Columbus and set out to build a bridge between two cultures he cherishes equally. His vision was simple but deeply personal: to recreate, right in the heart of Ohio, the experience of walking into a beautiful French boutique — discovering brands with real stories, objects made by real artisans, and a sense of everyday life elevated by genuine quality.
