Dammann Frères Tisane du Berger Herbal Infusion Tea Bags

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Tisane du Berger is a composition that leans into freshness and clarity, built around a selection of aromatic herbs traditionally associated with alpine landscapes. As it steeps in its Cristal® sachet, the infusion releases a clean, herbaceous aroma—immediately uplifting, with notes that feel both cooling and gently invigorating.

The first sip is bright and refreshing. Verbena and mint lead the profile, offering a lively herbal lift with a naturally cooling sensation. This is followed by softer, more rounded notes—often associated with plants like linden or similar florals—that bring a gentle smoothness to the cup.

There is a subtle sweetness beneath the herbal structure, not sugary but naturally derived from the botanicals themselves. This balances the sharper edges of the mint and verbena, resulting in a well-rounded infusion that feels both light and complete.

The texture is clean and fluid, with no heaviness or bitterness. Thanks to the Cristal® sachet, the herbs are allowed to fully expand, producing a clear, well-defined liquor where each note remains distinct yet harmonious.

The finish is refreshing and lingering, leaving a soft herbal coolness on the palate—making it particularly enjoyable as a calming yet revitalizing infusion.

Brew this ideally at 100°C. Steep for 5–6 minutes.

Inspired by the Mountain Herb Garden

“Tisane du Berger,” or “Shepherd’s Herbal Tea,” draws inspiration from the simple, aromatic infusions traditionally enjoyed in mountainous regions of Europe. These blends often feature wild or cultivated herbs known for their refreshing and soothing qualities.

Dammann Frères approaches this tradition with precision, selecting and balancing botanicals to create a blend that feels both authentic and refined. Known since 1692 for its expertise in tea and infusion blending, the house applies the same level of care to herbal compositions as it does to its teas.

Presented in Cristal® sachets, the infusion is given the space to раскрыть its full aromatic profile—allowing each herb to express itself clearly.

The result is a tisane that feels timeless—simple, clean, and quietly restorative.
