Sonnentor
In 1988, a young Johannes Gutmann, equipped with the heritage of his father's old peasant trousers, wearing round red glasses on his face and a deep conviction in his soul about the necessity of organic farming for the health of people and the planet, went to market. Not with leather, but with organic herbs, teas and spices. He began offering these products at markets in and around his home village of Sprögnitz, Austria, where he distinguished himself by passing on the stories of the growers along with their fruits. Thus was born Sonnentor, a brand known for its sustainable and organic products.
Sonnentor, whose logo with a smiling sun has been known for more than a quarter of a century, presents a wide range of heavenly fragrant herbs, teas and spice blends. The brand established itself in the Czech Republic in 1992, when Johannes and Tomáš Mitáček founded the Czech branch in South Moravia. Originally, Czech Sonnentor focused only on essential oils, but gradually expanded its offer to include organically grown herbs and today offers everything from tea blends to spices and other foods. All products are produced with a focus on sustainability and quality, made from organic ingredients, processed with care, packaged in innovative materials and with the aim of minimising waste and achieving 100% compostable packaging.
Sonnentor has won our hearts with its sincere concern for health and nature. If its approach appeals to you, feel free to explore its fragrant herbs and teas in our range.
Sonnentor herbal teas: tradition, sustainability and joy in every cup
In the heart of South Moravia, in the picturesque town of Čejkovice, the story of Sonnentor herbal teas is born, a symbol not only of quality and tradition, but also of a sustainable approach to business and the environment. Sonnentor is an example of a company that accepts its success with humility, as a gift and a responsibility, and not as the only meaning of life.
Here Joy Grows
The company's motto "Here Joy Grows" is not just an empty slogan, but a profound mission that strives to bring joy and enthusiasm for herbs, teas and spices, not only in the Czech Republic, but around the world. Josef Dvořáček, a representative of Sonnentor, stresses the importance of harmony between work and family life, which is in sharp contrast to the practices of many multinational corporations. Sonnentor believes that happy families are the basis for creating conscious and active co-workers who contribute to protecting and preserving the environment for future generations.
Global partnerships and local sustainability
Sonnentor has its roots in Moravia, but its reach extends around the world. It works with growers from all corners of the planet, from Romania to New Zealand, in a spirit of fair trade and mutual respect. These global partnerships allow Sonnentor to offer a wide variety of herbs and spices that are not native to the Czech landscape, while maintaining the principles of regionality and integrity.
Philosophy and Values
Sonnentor's founder, Johannes Gutmann, remains true to his principles even after years of success. His simple lifestyle and commitment to sustainability are visible in everything the company does. Sonnentor invests profits back into the region, creating new jobs and supporting the local community.
Sustainability and fairness
Sonnentor builds on a solid foundation of sustainability, which is more than just a fashion trend for the company. It is a way of life that the company has practiced for more than a quarter of a century. Fair business practices and transparent dealings with growers, suppliers and customers are as important to Sonnentor as the quality of their products.
Family attitude and enjoyment
Sonnentor is like a family where there is an open and friendly atmosphere. The company strives for a work-life balance for its employees, which is reflected in job satisfaction and happiness. Joy is a key element of Sonnentor, which can be seen at every turn - from the company motto to the smiles of co-workers.
Innovation and tradition
Despite its deep respect for tradition and handcraft, Sonnentor does not turn a blind eye to modern technology and innovation. The company strives to strike a balance between progress and traditional practices, with the goal of continuously improving and inspiring others to make the world a better place.
Sonnentor is an example of a company that proves that it is possible to do business differently - with respect for nature, respect for people, and joy that spreads far and wide. Their herbal teas are not only healthy and tasty, but carry a story of sustainability and harmony that is important to us all.
