Tea with a story in every leaf.

All teas

A house built on tasting

Tavienne started with a single table in a Vienna courtyard and a stubborn rule: no tea goes on the shelf until all four of us have tasted it, three times, on three different days.

Today we work with thirty-eight small gardens, pay above market price and publish the harvest date and elevation of every tea.
