What is Ronnefeldt?

Ronnefeldt is a German tea maker with over 190 years of history, founded in 1823 by Johann Tobias Ronnefeldt.

Ronnefeldt tea is used in the finest hotels around the world, but as a basic condition only hotels of 5 stars or above are allowed to use it. Such strict quality is also required for the operating stores, too.

It all started with a cup of tea

One day, when the owner was stuck at work, his secretary offered him a cup of tea from Ronnefeldt, which is sold in the finest hotels around the world. The tea was so good that he stopped to take a sip in amazement. The owner wanted more people to know the taste of this tea, so I decided to open a certified store.

"I want people to rest their minds with this tea". "I want everyone involved in this restaurant to live a good and healthy life by cooking with real ingredients and not using ready-made products". These thoughts led to the birth of this restaurant.

An authorized Ronnefeldt store can only open after passing both headquarters training and testing. It opened in January 2018 after two years of preparation until the quality was satisfactory to the owner.

How to choose tea?

About 40 kinds of tea leaves are handled at the salon. The taste varies depending on the production area and blend of tea leaves. The representative “Darjeeling” and “Assam” are familiar, but there are also original tea names, and many people may be wondering how to choose.

One way to choose is based on how you want to drink it (straight or milk tea), the strength of the astringency, and your preferred flavorings. Descriptions are provided on the menu list and on the price of the tea leaves, so you can choose while visualizing the flavors. Of course, the knowledgeable staff will be happy to tell you about the tea's characteristics.

In addition, the taste of tea changes dramatically depending on the food with which it is paired, which is called "marriage" or "pairing. The salon offers sweets and dishes that are designed to be matched with black tea, so we recommend that you select a tea that goes well with this dish.

At the corner where tea leaves are sold, you can actually check the scent, so you can choose your favorite scent by your intuition.
