Our passion for tea began in the late seventies when we opened our first small tea shop in Trier, Germany. From those humble beginnings, our company blossomed into what it is today, a global leader in specialty teas. Today TeaGschwendner has more than 130 shops in seven countries on four continents. We’re sharing the world’s finest teas with customers in locations such as Frankfurt, Germany; Vienna, Austria; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; and now Chicago Illinois!

Our tea shops are staffed with tea enthusiasts dedicated to exploring the world of loose leaf tea with our customers. Each shop carries a selection of more than 300 varieties including Black, Green, Oolong, White, Rooibush, Herbal and Fruit, and ranging in price from just a few cents per cup all the way up the rarest teas grown exclusively for TeaGschwendner by some of the world’s finest estates.

On top of that we offer an extensive range of tea-related products: glass, ceramic, and porcelain teapots; fine tableware from around the world; teapot warmers; tea candles; filter systems; tea literature; and customized gifts for any occasion.

Share our passion for tea!

From the start our company has been driven by the experience of enjoying a good cup of tea. From the simple beginnings of our first tea-shop where our customers were presented with – perchance their first real tea experience, we have become ambassadors in the world of tea.

The consummate enthusiasm we have for our product is, without a doubt, the key to our success. At TeaGschwendner you’ll find unparalleled selection, unrivaled quality, and expert advice on preparation.

The high importance we place on breadth of selection, quality and freshness – from harvest to processing, from our shop to your kitchen shelf is what wins us the trust and loyalty of TeaGschwendner’s customers the world over.
