For the last three generations, Dammann Freres has been faithful to the tradition of the great origins of tea. In 1925, two brothers, Robert and Pierre Dammann, two great tea lovers, created the commercial enterprise known as Dammann Freres.  Dammann Freres became the official tea purveyor to the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique whose luxury ocean liners the "Ile de France" and the "Normandie" were known as the "French Line." Today, Dammann Freres still searches for the best quality teas that will ensure pleasure for all tea drinkers.
