Thé shops can be found all over Paris. Located on rue Mouffetard, it is one of three Paris stores. Damman Frères has been in the tea business since 1692.
It sounds a bit like T2 Virginia, do you have them in US, such delicious tea and gorgeous accessories, must admit I would love this tea caddy, sooooo chic!
Seems brothers going into the tea business is not uncommon, dear V. But I haven't heard of Damman Frères until now ~ good to know. Hugs to you and Meeps!
I love tea! No coffee for me. The red box is beautiful. I only know the boutique on Place des Vosges, I didn´t know they also have one on Rue Mouffetard, one of my favourite streets. Have you already bought Dammann tea? I usually buy my tea at Mariage Frères.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

What a beautiful presentation! (and, it is rouge!)

We have Tejava stores in our malls here. Similar, and expensive (but good)
This would make a lovely gift to give. I like the tin! :)
Those tea shops are very nice. I like the one on rue Lepic.
Not a big tea person.
More beautiful "rouge" from Paris.
Happy New Year Virginia.

1692. Beautiful. Hard to imagine. But i'd love to (eventually) visit! :)
