Lerbs & Hagedorn: Hanseatic Tea Tradition Since 1877

For more than 145 years, Lerbs & Hagedorn has represented premium tea, authentic Hanseatic values and a deep-rooted commitment to quality.
Founded in 1877 in Bremen, our company began as a merchant house for spirits, including well-known brands such as “Roter Korsar.” Over time, our focus shifted toward high-quality tea – a product that truly reflects our expertise and passion.

Today, the company is run by the Hasenkamp family, who continue our long-standing heritage with dedication, expertise and a strong customer focus.
