Tea growing regions around the world
Tea grows in many parts of the world – and every growing region brings forth its very own character. Climate, altitude, soil, harvest time, and processing all shape a tea's taste, aroma, and color in the cup.
We introduce you to the most important tea-growing regions – especially those with high-quality products that you can also find in our range.
Furthermore, we present interesting facts about the blends of major tea-drinking nations such as England, Ireland, East Frisia, and Russia. While tea does not grow everywhere in these places, very special traditions and customs surrounding the enjoyment of tea have developed in these countries.

Tea cultures and blending traditions
Some countries are not primarily known as growing regions, yet they have developed a particularly distinct tea culture. These traditions still influence many popular blends to this day.
If you would like to select a tea by its origin, pay attention not only to the country but also to the harvest time, leaf grade, and desired strength of the brew. We would be happy to advise you personally in our shop on Wollzeile or by phone.
