Dammann Frères

Dammann Frères is a French tea house, known for its Cristal tea bag. It selects teas and infusions and sells them in shops and online.

History

The Dammann Frères name appears in 1825, when the house bought Derode, a tea and vanilla merchant. Spice and tea counters opened abroad, then tea became its only trade.

The invention of the Cristal tea bag by Jacques and Didier Jumeau-Lafond marked a turning point. Later, Illy took the majority stake, Parisian shops multiplied, production moved to Dreux and a tea room opened in Osaka.
