When planning the tea factory in Münchenstein near Basel in 1955, the Bisang family wanted the building’s facade to resemble that of a tea factory in the highlands of Ceylon. At that time, the building essentially had three stories and a converted attic. All packaging materials were stored in the attic. The first floor housed the packaging department and the offices. The ground floor contained the tea warehouse with the blending rooms and a small retail shop. And the basement was used to store all tea accessories and tableware.
