East Frisia is a region in Lower Saxony that is a popular destination for holidaymakers thanks to its wide coastal strip. Six North Sea islands and a handful of small towns, picturesque dikes with sheep, extensive moors and idyllic coastal towns form the region's charm. During a visit you can look at the countless brick houses, visit castles and magnificent buildings, chat with the East Frisians on Platt, eat kale and drink a cup of tea. An integral part of the day is the so-called Teetied, which is not dissimilar to English teatime and has even been declared an intangible cultural heritage. Like their British neighbors, the East Frisians also love their tea and drink more than ten times as much of it as the rest of Germany. East Frisian tea is drunk, a mixture of different black teas that is refined with rock candy and a dash of cream.
The latest beer creation from Orca is centered around exactly this tea. There are around 650 kilometers between Nuremberg and East Frisia, but the team still has a certain enthusiasm for the special tea. Uke Bosse, friend of the brewery and child of the far north, certainly had a positive influence on this development. Together with him and Heiko Gogolin, Orca created a Düsseldorf Alt that, thanks to East Frisian tea and Kluntjes in the storage tank, brings a wonderful balance of black tea, herbs, sweet malt and soft spice to the glass.
Cheers, well nothing, de hoost!
