Teekanne GmbH & CO. kg is a German tea trading company, based in Düsseldorf.

[citation needed][1] Today the family-run company produces 7.5 billion tea bags per year.

[3] In 1888 the company was renamed “Theekanne”, old German spelling for "Teekanne", meaning "teapot", and registered as a trademark.

[4] The two employees Eugen Nissle and Rudolf Anders bought the company in 1892; the first to sell blended, packaged tea.

Adolf Rambold became co-owner [7] and unveiled his fully automatic tea bag machine, the "Constanta", in 1949.

In 1991 Teekanne returned to its roots and acquired Teehaus GmbH (formerly VEB Kaffee und Tee), in Radebeul near Dresden.
