New Book: The Cultural Heritage of Tea in Bremen and East Frisia
May 15, 2026
A new volume by Professor Hartwig Bohne, published by Kellner Verlag, brings together the cultural, historical, and touristic dimensions of tea in Bremen and East Frisia — two northern German regions where tea has long been woven into everyday life and regional identity.
The book offers a rich account of how tea has shaped social rituals, trade, and cultural identity in northern Germany. Particularly noteworthy are the chapters that examine tea tourism, the role of UNESCO World Heritage designations, and the broader benefits such recognitions bring to a region's cultural and economic life.
The volume is highly recommended to colleagues working in cultural heritage, tourism studies, and food and beverage studies, and would be a valuable addition to any university library.
