Our brands

For more enjoyment in our life

We are delighted about our brands’ great popularity. With a diverse portfolio comprised of Meßmer, MILFORD, OnnO Behrends and our new brand Yasashi, we have achieved a top position in the German tea market.

Always on the lookout for new trends

We know: if we are to be well-positioned for the future, we must maintain our spirit of discovery which has been driving us for more than 115 years. To do this, we thoroughly observe and analyse the market, recognise trends and want to know what people expect from their tea and what they do to create memorable moments of enjoyment in their daily lives.
