Teekanne GmbH & CO. kg is a German tea trading company, based in Düsseldorf. The founders Rudolf Anders and Eugen Nissle were the first to sell tea in tins and already mixed teas on a high quality level. Furthermore, they went on to invent the machine-made tea bag. Today the family-run company produces 7.5 billion tea bags per year.
== History == Teekanne, then known under the name “R.Seelig & Hille”, was founded on 16 July 1882 in Dresden. In 1888 the company was renamed “Theekanne”, old German spelling for "Teekanne", meaning "teapot", and registered as a trademark. The registration number 6541 makes it one of Germany´s oldest trademarks still existing. The two employees Eugen Nissle and Rudolf Anders bought the company in 1892; the first to sell blended, packaged tea. The company has remained family-owned ever since.
