Thee team van TheeXpress

TheeXpress.nl was founded by Jaap in 2005 and Tea-Express-Tea.com derived from that. Jaap wanted to draw attention to the versatility of loose leaf tea. We started as a traditional shop in Hoogeveen and Meppel (The Netherlands) and then quickly expanded online to meet the need to order quality tea from home as well. This trend continued and therefore TheeXpress went completely online. That was a big step. We have tried to organise our assortment in such a way that there is something for everyone, with the further advantage that it is all available on one website. You no longer have to compare different teas in a supermarket or go to different shops to buy your teas. In addition, our webshop is easy to navigate which is helpful for those who are not so familiar with online shopping yet. Our newest addition is Tea-Express-Tea; tea lovers from all over the world can now enjoy our teas.

This all does not mean that we have become invisible personally: on the contrary. We deeply care about our contacts with our customers and always show this. In the meantime we have become a real family business: Reneé (married to Jaap) and Thérèse (daughter of Jaap) have joined the business over the years. Thérèse is also recognized tea sommelier and has followed the training at the International Tea & Coffee Academy. You can imagine what we drink at family gatherings!
