YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 23, ARMENPRESS. Mountain Tea and Antaram, two Armenian herbal tea producers, have signed an export deal with German TeeGschwendner on the sidelines of the BIOFACH 2018 agricultural food expo in Nuremberg, Germany.

LukasParobij, an executive of the German tea company, said they found out about the Armenian producers through the organic agriculture project of NABU and ACBA Credit Agricole Bank. “I think the project created very good opportunities and prospects both for Armenian organic tea producers and for us”, he said.
