Kusmi Tea, despite the young appearance of the shops, is a tea company with tradition and history. Kusmi was originally founded in 1867 in Saint Petersburg and supplied even the Tsar’s court in ancient Russia with its high-quality teas. In 1907, the company expanded and opened a branch in London, then the centre of the tea trade. In 1917, after the outbreak of the Russian Revolution, the Kusmi founding family Kousmichoff fled to Paris, where they opened a tea studio that still exists today. Kusmi Tea has also existed in Berlin since 1927. There are several Kusmi shops in Berlin, nowadays.
In the tea shop in the Bikini House, Kusmi also sells beautiful teapots made of glass, ceramics and even cast iron teapots from Japan as well as various good tea strainers. There is also a selection of high-quality tea bags for the office.
