East Frisian tea has a rich cultural and historical context, particularly in the East Frisia region of Germany: Unique Tea Culture: East Frisia is known for its high per capita tea consumption, with locals drinking approximately 300 liters of tea per person annually. This is unusual in a country where coffee is more commonly consumed; Traditional Preparation: The tea is traditionally prepared with kluntjes (rock candy sugar) and wulkjes (heavy cream), which are added to the tea to enhance its flavor and texture. This method is part of the East Frisian tea ceremony, which has been recognized as a UNESCO cultural world heritage; Historical Significance: The original East Frisian tea blend was created by B?nting, a company that has been producing this blend for over 200 years. The term "East Frisian tea" is not trademarked, but B?nting is the only company allowed to call its blend "Original East Frisian tea"; Regional Traditions: The tea is an integral part of East Frisian social gatherings and daily routines, often served with traditional pastries and cakes during various times of the day.
