Goût Russe Douchka is one of the most emblematic teas of Dammann Frères, representing a classic French interpretation of the traditional Russian-style tea. Created in the 1950s, this flavoured black tea is built on a Chinese black tea base, delicately scented with natural citrus essential oils, most notably bergamot, sweet orange and lemon.
The result is a bright, elegant aromatic profile in which citrus freshness softens the structure of the black tea without overpowering it. On the palate, Goût Russe Douchka is balanced and refined, combining gentle bitterness, lively citrus notes and a clean, lingering finish.
It is expressive yet restrained, designed for clarity rather than intensity. This tea has become a benchmark within the Dammann Frères range and a reference for citrus-scented black teas, illustrating the house’s long-standing expertise in blending tradition with aromatic precision.
