Peter's Tea House, tea culture revitalized in Bolzano.

Since 1994, in Bolzano, the air in the historic center is more fragrant. A scent of tea leaves of all types and origins. Since that year, indeed, the long adventure and success of Peter's Tea House began, a charming, warm, and welcoming space for all time lovers, for those who dedicate a moment to appreciate the pleasantness of a good fine tea, a drink that manages to invigorate spirits and nourish the sense of the pleasantness of life. 

Peter's Tea House is now one of the most appreciated tea room franchises that can be found in the most beautiful cities of our peninsula. Not just a place to taste, but also a shop where one builds culture around this extraordinary beverage. Yes, because, although it is a product that has entered into Western daily culture, only a few of us actually know the specifics that accompany these precious plants. There is a decidedly vast and complex world behind these dried leaves and Peter's Tea House brings the consumer closer to the historical and contemporary fascination of tea. 

But the company in Bolzano is also the pride of the well-known Pompadour: a quality reality in tea production, a company in the hands of a visionary manager who, still in Bolzano, managed to have the company certified, among the first in Italy, with the “Family and Work Reconciliation” certificate recognized by the Department for Family Policies of the Italian Government based on the guidelines of the “European Work & Family audit.” Among the various benefits provided to its employees, the choice to allow them to bring dirty clothes to work and have them picked up clean after a few days made headlines: they called it the “dirty laundry” operation. A decision by the Board of Directors that allowed each employee to save up to about 1600 euros a year. Not bad! Here, fine teas are prepared, therefore, with love and serenity even during the production phases. And all this to the benefit of the consumer who finds all that added value in the final product. 

Pompadour is part of the multinational tea company Teekanne, founded in Dresden in 1882. It was the first company to propose tea in bags. Today, Bolzano is the only location in Italy and has in Peter's Tea House its highest quality expression. Here, the best dried teas in the world are selected using the best existing techniques to offer consumers the top quality of tea. 

Tasting a tea infusion, we know, is an art and Peter's Tea House has been the spokesperson for this culture since 1994. In fact, in their shops and tea rooms, they don't just sell leaves, but also infusers, different for each type of extraction, the cups with the correct shape for tasting the various types of tea, and many other accessories to give oneself the best possible tea break. Entering one of Peter's Tea House represents an immersion into fruity and balsamic aromas that intoxicate the air and captivate the customer with their pleasantness. 

With Peter's Tea House, the journey is completed within a tea cup. You can learn the names of small crus where the best leaves in the world for truly exceptional tea are harvested! Encounters are made with women and men who have preserved the plantations and dedicate their lives to this precious plant. Cultures and traditions from distant places that still today fascinate with their eastern magic come closer. Elegant and refined, straightforward and territorial, ancestral and immutable over time: these are some of the distinctive traits of the selections offered by the Tea House in Bolzano. Different types of leaves that accompany the day in its many moods. Functional teas, herbal teas that invigorate, and infusions that serve as a source of pleasantness during the most tense moments of a day. In short, a concentrated salvation for the soul that sometimes also comes through a cup. 

To reach this vertigo of taste, however, one must have access to an extraordinary raw material: that’s what Peter's Tea House does, the beloved offspring of a great secular tea company that roots its history and tradition in the great Victorian plantations. Knowledge that is not invented but is only consolidated over time, with the experience of women and men who have selected, harvested, dried, and then adapted to Western culture a magnificent work of simple peoples. 

Spaghetti & Mandolino has taken on the challenge of accompanying this extraordinary Bolzano reality on a prestigious online journey: with the inclusion of all the top crus, Peter's Tea House aims to offer consumers the possibility to travel with their senses and minds through a world that is not yet fully known but is decidedly intriguing. We wanted to provide our customer with the opportunity to transform for a few moments the ancient Parisian tea rooms and English Tea Houses into the most classic Victorian imaginings of the time. It’s a privilege that we wanted to extend to all of you who are passionate about the pleasantness of life. An opportunity to take back time and dedicate it to our hearts.
