teekanne

Teekanne is the German word for a teapot, a vessel used to brew tea by infusing tea leaves or tea bags in hot water. A teekanne is typically made of metal or porcelain and features a lid, a handle, and a spout, and it is used to steep and serve tea, either at the table or in households and cafés. The term is common in German-language contexts and can be used generically to refer to any teapot.

Teekanne is also the name of a German tea company known for producing packaged teas. The company was founded in the 19th century and has become one of Germany’s longstanding tea brands, marketing a range of products, including black, green, herbal, and fruit blends, largely in tea bags but also in loose leaf formats. The brand emphasizes accessibility and everyday consumption and distributes in Germany and neighboring European markets.

In addition to its commercial role, Teekanne has contributed to tea culture in Germany through product innovations and broad sourcing from multiple growing regions.
