Tea-Time


Enjoy Friesenhaus traditional tea ceremony.
In Friesland, a small part at the north sea coast of Germany, people drink tea the whole day long. They say, „they need it to survive !“
Before the Ostindian Tea-Company first brought tea from Japan to Ostfriesland, people over there mostly drink beer, which naturally caused much problems. That was in the middle of the 17th century. Through the years tea became popular to everybody, not only to the rich.


Nowadays a quarter of German tea consumption lays in Ostfriesland. It was always a privileg to the housewife to serve the tea. Three little cups are minimum and „Ostfriesen-Right“. But take care – Ostfriesen don't talk much. When you don't want to drink tea any longer, you had to put your little teaspoon in your cup. Otherwise you'll get tea without an end...

In Friesland, a small part of Germany on the North Sea coast, people drink tea the whole day long.
