Köping Tea Company

The Köping Tea Company is a wholesaler of tea and other beverages, including coffee, hot chocolate and malt drinks, based in Kaupang. The company consists of a consortium of tea houses and tea merchants brought together by the Society for Benevolent Investment. The Company operates a network of tea houses in the Hurmu Trust Territory and the International Mandate, along with a tea blending and packing plant in Kaupang. The Company also has an overseas community of tea buyers in South Lyrica, and Keltia, along with a further team of commercial agents seeking to organise sales in international markets, particularly those of the Raspur Pact in Benacia, Cibola, Eura, and Tapfer. In Benacia in particular the Company seeks to break into a market hitherto dominated by Elwynnese blends (themselves ironically of Hurmu origin historically) whilst also making an inroad into the overwhelming Southern Benacian preference for coffee as the stimulant drink of choice.

As of 1690, the Company actively sought to commence operations in Chryse as soon as circumstances were favourable.
