That’s us, Daniel and Stephan.

After years of friendship, fooleries, nights out, good times and bad ones, we ended up founding Ortea in 2022. With the goal of bringing natural and high-quality iced tea to the fridges, we are working hard on new recipes and formats to make our iced tea more accessible. Ortea is based on the love for iced tea and the desire for independency. It has been a long way to holding a finished product in our hands. Starting with the recipe, developing the design, choosing the right suppliers and finally bottling and labelling the first bottles. Meanwhile, Ortea is not only our job but our passion. Sounds cheesy, but that’s how it is :)
