With so many excellent coffee shops serving up perfectly poured lattes and third-wave filter coffees, it’s not news that Berlin has gone a bit coffee crazy in recent years. But what about the tea lovers out there? Where can we go for excellent tea, prepared properly and served at the right temperature? While there are a handful of shops, we find the best outcome for a nice cup o’ tea is to prepare our own at home. Showcasing countless varieties of teas, blends and infusions from black to green, herbal to fruit, a nice shop to pick up some warmth this season is Kusmi Tea. Celebrating the grand opening of its newest location here in Berlin on 15.12.17 — perfectly timed to coincide with the International Day of Tea — there’s no better day to refill your tea stocks, as Kusmi will offer 20% off your entire purchase (through 16.12.17) and donate 20% of their total grand opening revenue to Pink Ribbon Germany, a charity organization aimed to support breast cancer patients and increase awareness of the disease. Whether you’re tea inclined or just know someone who is, head to Kusmi Tea’s grand opening for tastes of their high-quality blends and recipes and support their charitable efforts, because after all — ‘tis the season for warm beverages and selfless holiday spirits.
