Taster Stefan Gieschke On Doing Justice to Good Teas

It is demanding to do justice to the “good teas” in their characterization and description, to capture and describe the nuances accurately and all the work that goes into these teas. It is also crucial to find a price that does justice to the work that the tea pickers, the tea makers, and the garden management put in. – Stefan Gieschke

Hamburg’s tea community is unique. Virtually all the tea imported into Germany is offloaded at Bremen and Hamburg, home to 211 tea companies. In addition, there are 300 tea companies in Berlin, and München has 152. Combined, these three provinces account for a 17% share of the German market. There are 3,858 tea companies in Germany, a testament to the fact that Germans love every type of tea.
