When planning the tea factory in Münchenstein near Basel in 1955, the Bisang family wanted the building façade to resemble a tea factory in the highlands of Ceylon. At that time, the building basically had three floors and a converted attic. All the packaging material was stored under the roof. The packaging department and offices were located on the second floor. The tea warehouse with the blending rooms and a small store were located on the first floor. All the tea accessories and crockery were stored in the basement.

Construction of the underground tea warehouse with special climate control began in 1992. Thanks to the tea warehouse, the fine teas can now be stored under the best possible conditions. The tea manufactory also has two different blending rooms. A strict distinction is made between neutral teas and flavored teas. In addition, London Tea has had a special rarities room for many years, in which the finest and rarest teas in the world are stored.

Matcha ist ein besonders feines Pulver aus beschatteten Grünteeblättern und reagiert daher empfindlich auf Licht, Sauerstoff und Wärme. Oft hört man jedoch die Regel, dass Matcha nicht mit Metall in Berührung kommen darf. Dieser Mythos stammt aus traditionellen Zubereitungsregeln und wird bis heute häufig wiederholt. Tatsächlich zeigen moderne Erkenntnisse, dass Edelstahl oder andere übliche Küchenutensilien die Qualität von Matcha kaum beeinflussen. Viel entscheidender für Geschmack und Farbe sind frische Zubereitung, richtige Lagerung und hochwertige Teequalität.
Weißer Tee steht für Schlichtheit und natürliche Eleganz. Durch eine besonders schonende Verarbeitung bleibt das Blatt nahezu unverändert und bewahrt seine feinen Aromen. In diesem Artikel erfährst du mehr über die Herkunft, die traditionelle Herstellung und die besonderen Eigenschaften dieser einzigartigen Teesorte.
Tee beginnt nicht in der Teekanne, sondern in der Landschaft, aus der er stammt. Die Teepflanze ist ein immergrünes Gewächs, das in seinem natürlichen Umfeld als Strauch oder sogar als Baum wächst. In den Ursprungsregionen Asiens gedeiht sie unter Bedingungen, die für ihre Entwicklung entscheidend sind: feuchte Luft, regelmäßige Niederschläge, nährstoffreiche Böden und ein ausgewogenes Verhältnis von Sonne und Schatten.
Botanisch betrachtet ist besonders das junge Pflanzenmaterial von Bedeutung. Die Kombination aus Knospe und jungen Blättern enthält jene Stoffe, aus denen sich später Aroma, Struktur und Charakter des Tees entwickeln. Je langsamer die Pflanze wächst – etwa in höheren Lagen oder bei häufigem Nebel – desto feiner und vielschichtiger kann ihr Geschmack werden. Klima und Boden wirken dabei wie unsichtbare Gestalter: Sie prägen das Blatt lange bevor der Mensch in den Prozess eingreift.
Im Ursprungsland zeigt sich Tee somit als Teil eines natürlichen Kreislaufs. Die Pflanze reagiert sensibel auf ihre Umgebung, speichert die Eigenschaften des Ortes und gibt sie später in der Tasse weiter. Wer Tee aus dieser Perspektive betrachtet, erkennt: Qualität ist kein Zufall, sondern das Ergebnis von Botanik, Landschaft und Zeit.
