Eduard/Teas is a Berlin-based online tea company founded by tea sommelier Eduardo Molina that launched on Dec. 17. Selections are limited-edition seasonal teas curated by terroir. Collections are introduced quarterly, and loose-leaf teas are sold individually in 20g and 40g pouches, or as a set of five. The initial collection is Eduard/Himalaya, sourced from Nepal, Darjeeling, and Sikkim. Selections are guided by sensory evaluation, stylistic balance, and how individual teas work together as a collection. Molina explains that success for Eduard/Teas is defined by the growth of a knowledgeable and engaged community, the ability to educate and inspire through storytelling, and establishing transparency as an industry standard. The first teas will ship in January. Distribution is limited to Germany, but will expand in the new year.
