Tea knowledge

Switzerland's oldest tea trading company was founded in 1896 simultaneously in London and Basel. Today, this long-established company is run by the third and fourth generations of the Bisang family and has been committed for decades to offering tea connoisseurs the highest-quality tea in the freshest condition.
If a tea travels 500 km and climbs up to 2,800 meters in elevation before it’s allowed to be loaded onto the ship’s deck, then it’s a Darjeeling. Only two roads and a steam train dating back to the colonial era provide access to an area home to some 200 tea gardens.
