Indonesia not only offers the classic black teas on Sumatra and Java, but also excellently produced green teas. In the mid 19th century the green tea production was commenced around the city of Bandung. In Kiwidey, a little to the south of Bandung, the "Sunda Purwa" is harvested and produced almost year-round. This coarse Pekoe-type is made from medium leaves and is a very down-to-earth variety with an excellent value for money. It impresses with an expressive body and intensive flavour even after having been infused a couple of times.
This blend of different spice seeds harmonizes perfectly. Children love the tender, sweet fennel infusion. The aniseed too, offers a bit of sweetness and, of course, its typical aniseed note. In the background, the caraway gives us its pleasant, spicy, strong variety of flavours. This herb tea blend obtains a perfect and aromatic taste nuance from a little pinch of coriander and does not need further flavouring. Enjoy the original and mild flavour!
Our quality is from the inner bark of the Tecoma-Lapacho tree, also known as "Purple Lapacho Tree" which - compared to the outer bark - is much more homogenous and, above all, less duty and sweeter in taste. Due to its pleasantly mild aroma, which reminds a bit of vanilla or caramel, this tea is very popolar. It contains less tannic acid and no caffeine.
Preparation: Pour only 1 tablespoon (approx. 10 g) per 1 litre water into cold water and wait until it boils; let it boil for approx. 5 minutes and then brew for another 20 minutes.
There are approximately 55 different varieties of lemon grass, which belongs to the family of sweet grass plants. Lemon grass has its origin in South East Asia, Sri Lanka, India and Australia. The plant, also known as Citronella, is mainly used as a spice in Asia cuisine. The dried plant is used in cut or ground form. However, the fresh stalk of lemon grass has an extraordinary, slightly rose-like and fresh, lemon aroma with an exotic note of its own. The fresh or dried leaves are also used in the tea blends for a thirst-quenching effect. The most popular variety is imported from India, whereas in India itself the plant is mainly used for the production of cosmetics and perfumes.
A paradise for gourmets: the mildly spicy and sweet notes of fennel and aniseed, combined with the full-flavoured, sweet aroma of the cocoa peel put a delicious drink into your cup.

A herb tea indulgence of the special kind.
The rose hip is a bush that can reach heights of up to 5 m. Its 2 cm thick fruits are round or oval in shape and very tender. Rose hip varies from light to dark red, in autumn a real eye catcher in the woods. The plant originates in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Today, we import this product from different countries like Chile, Russia, Bulgaria and China. The rose hip peel is dried in wood-burning stoves and reaches us in big bags. It is especially suitable as a single fruit for a delicious and thirst-quenching infusion. In fruit tea blends it is today one of the most important ingredients and almost indispensable. By the way, the inner part of the rose hip, commonly known as itching powder, can of course, be used to drive other people crazy.
If you are looking for new tastes, you can really expect something different from this tea. The surprising flavour of the prickly pear has a taste, which is refreshing, finely sour, and reminds you of melons and pears. Belonging to the family of cactuses, this fruit most probably has its origins in Mexico and was already cultivated by the Aztecs. The tempting scent makes you long for summer and lifts your spirits. The balanced decoration leaves no room for improvement.
This new addition to our Assam range allows us to offer you yet another attractively priced consumer quality. Right towards the end of the harvest, at the end of August, any surplus teas are being offered at very attractive conditions. However, we don't simply care for the price, rather, we especially look for teas with an expressive, long, black leaf, a medium, copper-coloured cup and a slightly spicy, malty character. Ideal for beginners and price-sensitive tea drinkers.
Is there anything more popular than the flavour combination of orange and vanilla? We have combined this mellow aroma with the unique taste of our Lapacho - a creation which tastes like 7th heaven!
Sage is a bush, which can reach heights of up to 70 cm. The long and hairy leaves have a very delicious and aromatic scent; their colour is light olive-green. The taste is very typical and slightly bitter. Originally, sage derives from the Mediterran area. It is very common especially in the Adriatic region. Today, the plant is also cultivated in other European countries. Cut sage should be kept in dark and closed containers. Due to the high contents of essential oils, we do not recommend storage in containers made of plastic.
