The Königsberg Tea Company
“A global enterprise. It maintained in Peking and other Chinese harbours and inland cities locations through which to purchase tea, overseen by a manager of the firm in Peking. The purchased tea was very carefully sorted in its country of origin and then, in its famous original Chinese packaging, was sent oversees to all the world. The tea trade with Russia was enormous from Königsberg; I was amazed at the officially released sales numbers.”
