As individual as tea.
As experienced importers and exporters, we combine tea expertise with storage capacity - ensuring reliable delivery at all times. Our warehouses in Germany can hold up to 4,000 tons of tea. Your tea is available just in time - safely and without delay. This is how we provide maximum flexibility and planning reliability for you.
Our assortment grows dynamically with our customers’ wishes. We offer all origins, all leaf grades, all certifications - both conventional and organic. Flavoured and unflavoured. Always in full compliance with EU standards. Developed and produced individually for you.
Tea comes from around the globe, and as a natural product, it is subject to natural variations and constant challenges. With our long-standing expertise in blending and refining raw mate-rials, we balance out potential fluctuations. This allows us to provide you with a product tailored to your requirements - always consistent in quality.
Product development is one of our specialties! We support you all the way - from trend analysis to technical implementation. We create market-ready blends tailored precisely to your needs and specifications - or present you with compelling alternatives.
We clear every hurdle in international trade for you - across and beyond the EU. From customs documentation to shipping, we manage every step efficiently and reliably. We ensure your goods arrive on time and in perfect condition.
All the way – our quality delivers.
We source teas directly from the producing countries for industrial clients, wholesalers, and leading brands. Working hand in hand with our local partners, we cultivate strong, trusting relationships that ensure the best quality and sustainable collaboration.
Our tea tasters’ experience goes far beyond sensory evaluation. They understand tea in all its diversity, keeping a close eye on developments in origin countries, spotting new trends and market shifts early on, and proactively finding solutions to eliminate supply risks. It’s our tea tasters who make all the difference.
At every stage of the tea’s journey, we are committed to the highest level of product safety. Quality checks take place along the entire supply chain - starting in the growing regions, continuing with strict residue testing in accredited laboratories, and of course meeting all complex EU requirements.
Sustainable action is the foundation of lasting success. Working with leading certification organizations and through personal visits on site, we ensure compliance with social, ecological, and ethical standards throughout our supply chain.
Shaping tradition with passion.
At JFS, the passion for tea has grown over generations. The company has been family-owned for over 120 years and is now run by the fifth generation. The grandfather of the company's founder laid the foundation with silk imports from China and sparked an interest in trade. Johann Friedrich Scheibler, born in Shanghai in 1871, founded J. Fr. Scheibler & Co. KG in 1896. Since then, the company has been run by members of the Scheibler family. With respect for people and nature and a keen awareness of the shared economic success of suppliers, partners, and customers.
Today, JFS is a modern company in which the special spirit of a family business lives on and continues to grow. What motivates our team today, as it did yesterday, is a natural food and luxury item that is unique in its diversity. Traditionally, we see ourselves as ambassadors of sustainable action in ecological and economic terms and as business partners in the spirit of honorable merchants. In our customer relationships, as with our suppliers, we attach great importance to close and personal cooperation.

J. Fr. Scheibler GmbH & Co. KG was a founding member of the former German Tea Association and has long been active on the board of the current German Tea & Herbal Tea Association (Deutscher Tee & Kräutertee Verband e.V.).
