Tchibo Coffee Whole Beans

Tchibo is one of Germany's most iconic coffee brands, founded in Hamburg in 1949 by Max Herz and Carl Tchilinghiryan. The name 'Tchibo' is a portmanteau of the name Tchiling and 'Bohne' (bean). Originally a mail-order coffee business, it has grown into an international retailer known for its unique business model of offering a rotating weekly selection of non-food items alongside its signature coffee products.

The coffee beans are sourced from major coffee-growing regions worldwide, including Brazil, Vietnam, and Ethiopia, but the roasting and packaging are primarily centered in Germany. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Herz family through their holding company, Maxingvest AG. This family-led structure has allowed Tchibo to maintain its market-leading position in Central Europe while expanding into diverse lifestyle categories.
