About the history of Tchibo

Tchibo was founded in Hamburg in 1949 by Max Herz and Carl Tchilinghiryan — the name blends 'Tchilinghiryan' and 'Bohne', the German word for bean. What began as a coffee mail-order business grew into one of Germany's biggest and best-known coffee companies.

From its Hamburg headquarters, Tchibo roasts for millions of German households daily. The Gold Selection instant line delivers the brand's signature rich, rounded taste in freeze-dried form — over a hundred cups from a single jar.

Practically unavailable from UK retailers, Tchibo instant coffee is one of the products German expats ask for most — now shipped from UK stock.
