German Elke Werner dreamed of opening a tea shop since childhood. After graduating from university, she started from scratch to realize her childhood dream. Since 2012, Elke has founded and operates a modern tea shop called Teerausch in Dresden, Germany. Unlike traditional German tea shops that focus on herbal teas, her shop mainly promotes Japanese tea. Dresden, in Elke’s view, seems to have a richer tea culture compared to other German cities. In 2025 and 2026, Elke took the lead, together with local tea merchants and enthusiasts, and successfully held the first two editions of the Dresden Tea Festival in a century-old traditional Chinese tea house in the city.
