Description
Messmer Klassik, schwarzer Tee – Black Tea Classic – with 25 tea bags
Otto Messmer personally developed it around 150 years ago; the black tea with the fine, appealing taste. Our tea masters still use his original recipe today and guarantee his unique taste by blending the highest quality teas. Messmer Classic is – then as now – always a special treat.
This black tea classic is a blend of the highest quality black tea varieties for a finely aromatic taste.
Black tea is a special production method in which the tea is fermented after withering. Due to the natural “fermentation” it loses its green color and becomes dark. The process is not only responsible for the name of the tea (“black tea”), but also for the special taste.
PREPARATION: Boil fresh water and pour boiling water over the tea. The brewing time is 3 to 5 minutes. The tea has a stimulating effect for up to 3 minutes and is no longer stimulating after 5 minutes. With brewing times of more than 5 minutes, black tea can taste a bit bitter.

About Messmer
Messmer – a formerly independent tea trading company – is now a brand of the Ostfriesische Tee Gesellschaft.
The company has its origins in a delicatessen and grocery store that was founded on September 21, 1852 by Eduard Meßmer in Baden-Baden. Messmer soon became the purveyor to the court of Wilhelm of Prussia and his wife Augusta, who for many years were guests at his father Johann Friedrich Baptist Messmer’s hotel, the Hotel Messmer. In 1886 Messmer was able to open a branch in Frankfurt am Main, which was managed by his son Otto Messmer (1858-1940). In 1895, Otto Messmer had the Messmer Tee trademark protected.
In 1990 the company Ed. Messmer GmbH & Co., Frankfurt am Main and Grettstadt, was taken over by the East Frisian Tea Company Laurens Spethmann GmbH & Co. KG from Seevetal. The current range of the Messmer brand includes 46 types of tea or tea blends, which are sold both loosely and in double-chamber tea bags.
