Ever since the ancient Chinese, people have been turning to tea to leave the noise of the world behind them. Even Heinrich Böll in his ”Irish Journal” praised the unifying capacities of the warming drink that East Friesians, the British and the peoples of India and Africa have in common. Entire nations define themselves by the hot drink – which in principle is made with not much more than a few dried leaves. But these leaves are miraculous, and who has not felt the gentleness and calmness that tea produces? Billions of people appreciate the different aromas ranging between Assam, Darjeeling, Roibosch and Yunnan. If properly picked, everything will turn out right. Ritzenhoff has now crowned the whole process: ”It’s Tea Time”, a glass and tea caddy of the finest.
