About us
A passion for tea since 1983
Katrin and Gerhard Lange started this business with a great deal of enthusiasm for tea. Over the years, their expertise in the trade grew and their love of tea became a way of life alongside and with their family. Over the decades, the small family business developed into a company inspired by the ancient Asian tea culture and characterized by the objective examination of the specialist field of tea, which is at the centre of all its facets and cultures.
Gerhard and Kaspar Lange have been travelling to Asia regularly since 2002. Kaspar Lange has learnt the Chinese language and acquired indispensable tea knowledge in China. Travelling to China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and India enables personal contact with producing farming families, tea masters and experienced trade experts.
The expertise acquired through travelling and the connection to the origin of tea feeds the company's everyday life: whether in the shop or in the tea room, in consultations for with B2B customers, in mail order and wholesale, in logistics, in the Tea School or on the tea trips for our customers. The product offers countless opportunities for entrepreneurial development and the team, which now numbers 45, is passionately committed to tea, customers and different cultures.
