Westminster Apple-Pear fruit tea

Westminster is a well-established private label brand exclusive to the German discount retailer ALDI, specifically under the ALDI Nord and ALDI Süd umbrellas. While the brand name evokes British tea traditions, it was developed by ALDI to offer a premium yet affordable range of tea products, including black, green, and flavored fruit infusions like this Apple-Pear variety.

The production of Westminster tea is typically handled by specialized private-label manufacturers. One of the primary suppliers is Markus Kaffee GmbH & Co. KG, based in Germany, which has a long-standing partnership with ALDI for coffee and tea products. The ingredients themselves, such as the dried fruits and tea leaves, are sourced globally from certified sustainable farms (often carrying the Rainforest Alliance seal) and then blended and packaged in Germany.

Ownership of the Westminster trademark resides with ALDI Einkauf SE & Co. oHG, the parent entity of the ALDI group headquartered in Essen, Germany. This allows ALDI to maintain complete control over the brand's quality standards and pricing, ensuring it remains a staple of their international product lineup across Europe.
