Around 200 years ago, in 1806, Johann Bünting founded this
colonial goods store.
Tea, coffee, spices and the finest sweets were offered for sale here then, as they are today.
If you walk down the shopping street in Leer, coming from the train station, to the end, it is impossible to miss the Bünting tea house.
It has a very special facade painting that represents a historical story, myths and legends.
The two large young ladies above the entrance make you crane your neck, but the sight is worth it, a house facade like this is unparalleled.
But all the other figures on this house - paintings also have their own story to tell, the brochure with explanations is available in the tea house

In the middle of the old town of Leer, a small café (Café Antik) is highly recommended. They offer delicious homemade cakes. The staff is extremely friendly. You feel very comfortable there and would prefer not to want to leave at all.

East Frisia is the land of tea drinkers. Bünting is just one of several East Frisian manufacturers.

The colorful teahouse culture at Büntingplatz in Leer

When you go to Büntingplatz in Leer, you are in a very special place. The facade of the building is surrounded by myths and legends, all of which are deeply rooted in the history of the East Frisian region around Leer. Citizens, the city and companies participated in the selection of the 50 local motifs. The J. Bünting Coloniale teahouse culture stands for East Frisian cosiness and invites you to linger over tea, cake and fresh pastries. There is always time for a friendly chat here. That is why guests feel at home in the stylish ambience of our J. Bünting Coloniale teahouse. It is not just the facade that is colorful. Together with the guests, a warm and sociable atmosphere is created here every day. Experience it for yourself on your next stay in Leer!

THE BÜNTING TEA MUSEUM

AMBASSADOR OF TEA CULTURE

The Bünting Tea Museum invites all visitors on a journey from the origins of the tea plant to enjoyment in the cup. In the historic museum building in Leer's old town, the exhibition illustrates the development of tea over the centuries. In addition to the tea culture of East Frisia, the museum shows all facets of tea and the different tea cultures.

The East Frisian tea culture has a special meaning for us and is lived by us in all its diversity in everyday life. We promote and preserve this by making it tangible for our visitors. In doing so, we preserve the knowledge of Bünting's over 200-year-old company tradition and see ourselves as ambassadors of tea culture.

As the oldest private tea trading house in East Frisia, Bünting Tea and today's Bünting Group look back on an eventful history.

Here you can learn about fine porcelain and delicate accessories, how tea made its way from China to the rest of the world, including to East Frisia, how it evolved from a medicinal product to a luxury item, and what the famous East Frisian tea tradition of Kluntje and Wulkje is all about.

The Tea Museum is easily accessible on foot or by bike. Parking is rather scarce 👍
