Dear connoisseur

Full of intensity and gentle at the same time. In Japan, a cup of tea reflects culture, tradition, aesthetics and pure enjoyment.

The japanese tea ritual or way of tea (chado) is a matter of finding inner peace. A tradition that has been passed on over centuries and is still kept up passionately today.

Katrin & Gerhard Lange followed this passion. Thus, in 1983, they opened their Länggass-Tee store that is known far beyond Bern today and has become a Competence Center for tea.

shizuku is pleased to provide to you a small but fine assortment of japanese tea due to the new partnership with Länggass-Tee.

Give yourself a moment of rest with a pleasant ‚drop of Japan’ of highest quality.
Or enjoy with stile and tradition in an appropriate accessoire from Japan.
