Über uns

Natural remedies, medicinal plants and spices for maintaining good health have a long tradition, to which my colleagues and I feel connected. Herbathek can be thought of as a medieval medicinal herb ‘pharmacy’ where people used to obtain medicinal herbs and products and medicines made from herbs. 

We combine this traditional range and knowledge with a modern range of innovative (read

y-made) products and natural cosmetics. In this respect, we are reviving a very old tradition and combining it with modern products. The idea of opening a specialist shop, which was then a brick-and-mortar store and is now an online shop for medicinal herbs, natural remedies and organic products, came to us from the Italian ‘Erboristeri as’, a combination of a traditional herbal pharmacy, drugsto re and modern organic range.

Founded in spring 2005, we can now proudly say that we were the first online retailer of organic herbs, teas and spices in Germany, and perhaps even in Europe. Today, we can look back on more than 20 years of steady growth, starting as a one-man operation in a small back room to a team of up to 25 employees and shipping all over the world. 

 As a qualified biologist, passionate

botanist, active sportsman and son of a pharmacist, I have been involved with health issues and natural remedies for many decades. I know the importance of natural remedies, medicinal plants and herbs for our health. 

 The highest product quality is crucial, especially for health products. Our medicinal herbs are produced almost exclusively from organic cultivation.

Since freshness has a major influence on the taste and effectiveness of herbs, the time of harvest is crucially important to us, because a medicinal plant should not be too old, as it may then not only lose its effectiveness, but also develop toxic decomposition products. We are happy to provide precise information about harvest and expiry dates on request.

Our range also includes medicin

al mushrooms, as used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), beekeeping products such as honey, pollen, propolis and royal jelly, as well as natural vitamins and minerals for healthy nutritional supplements, liquid herbal essences, probiotics, essential oils, algae preparations, pressed plant juices, valuable Himalayan salts, tea and tea blends, and high-quality natural cosmetics.

Herbathek® is now a well-established brand in Germany. Since 2005, I have been putting my name on the line to guarantee the highest standards of quality and service. 

 We hope you enjoy shopping with us! Anja and Jens Jakob, certified biologist, and the entire Herbathek team
