Hello everyone, Thank you very much for the fast delivery, the smooth process, and the wonderful Christmas card. Top service! Happy holidays and all the best for 2016. Keep up the good work!! Veronika M.

Dear "Tegernseer", Attached is my new – and for this year also last order… unbelievable…. another year is drawing to a close and it's gradually time to slow life down a bit and enjoy this wonderful time properly… So I want to take the opportunity to wish you a wonderful Advent season and a peaceful, tranquil Christmas already now. I still remember well when I wrote something similar around the same time last year… and if I look back at 2015, so many great moments this year were accompanied by a cup of the best coffee… most recently it kept us warm when we traveled to Klingenthal for the Ski Jumping World Cup Opening… and we didn't have to sip from boring paper cups ;-)) I say "Thank you" for always perfect and fast processing of all my orders and wish you all the best for 2016! Until then! Sincerely, Nadine E.

“One must truly discover coffee. The ceremony for a good bean involves time and the right preparation.” For Mario Felix Liebold, Germans' favorite beverage is much more than just black and hot. Coffee is his calling and passion. A passion that can also be heard from him. Because he says: "You have to slurp coffee!" Mario Felix Liebold is an award-winning coffee roaster and barista. Since 2007, he has operated the first coffee roastery in Tegernsee and his own café. However, he is actually a trained dental technician and export economist. But coffee fascinated him even as a small boy. "I was surrounded by coffee junkie women. My grandma and my mother always had a cup of coffee somewhere." As a teenager, he also lived with his parents for two and a half years in Bahrain, where his enthusiasm continued to grow: "I just found it exciting what all you can do with coffee!" After traveling around the world for about 200 days a year for work, he also visited the world's largest coffee-producing country, Brazil. There, and also because he was no longer happy in his job, he developed the idea of turning his hobby into a profession. This year, Mario Felix Liebold celebrates the eighth anniversary of his roastery and is pleased that he was able to convince the initially quite skeptical residents of Tegernsee of his coffee specialties.

Hotel Newspaper from Relais & Châteaux Park-Hotel Egerner Höfe A wonderful article about us in "Zeitgeist" Issue 06/15:  Zeitgeist-Ausgabe-06-15.pdf1.5 MB   Coffee from Tegernsee? Although our region boasts the most beautiful forests and flower meadows, Tegernsee is not a place where equatorial temperatures prevail for coffee cultivation. However, "the Tegernsee locals" and their guests are known as connoisseurs with high demands for quality, regionality, and sustainability. Good coffee is like good wine. Just as with wine, the variety, the country of cultivation, the climatic zone, the location, and the soil conditions determine a large part of the quality and character of coffee. High- quality coffee is still harvested by hand today, as it is important to pick the coffee cherries, which ripen differently on the bush, at exactly the right stage of ripeness. Nevertheless, one thing remains: cultivating coffee at Tegernsee would be a wasted effort. However, there is a small manufactory at Tegernsee that coaxes out the coffee's final refinement and thus its unique taste through roasting: a craft in itself! The coffee roaster, and no one else, understands how to find the right roasting profile for each variety and to elicit the diverse aromas from the coffee beans. This is precisely what happens at Erste Tegernseer Kaffeerösterei. Mario Felix Liebold, owner of Erste Tegernseer Kaffeerösterei, understands the business of black gold: his coffee specialties are still hand-roasted, so that customers get the right taste and can enjoy virtually the whole world in a cup. FROM THE EQUATOR TO TEGERNSEE Many coffees from Erste Tegernseer Kaffeerösterei are imported directly by Liebold, or together with his befriended roasters. Here, coffee is still bought directly from the farmer of the coffee plantation; no middlemen, no stock market trading, only the transport company receives its fee. The earnings thus go to precisely those people who have put in the most effort for the product: the coffee farmers. So, if you've always wanted to embark on a culinary world tour, Erste Tegernseer Kaffeerösterei is the place to be. All that remains is the agony of choice: Bolivia, El Salvador, Honduras, or Tanzania. The roastery at the foot of the Wallberg invites you for an afternoon coffee in its directly connected sales rooms and the associated Café Felix. Fancy a cup of coffee?
