The H & S Tee GmbH & Co. KG (Haussler & Sauter, even HST ) is a German manufacturer of tea blends . The company is located in Kressbronn in Baden-Württemberg on Lake Constance .

The company "Ingeborg Häußler Kressbronn" was founded in September 1949 by Inge Sauter (née Häußler, 1910–2005) for the production of medicinal teas. This makes the company one of the oldest European manufacturers in this market segment, as until then teas were made individually in pharmacies. Today, the company's teas are sold in most German pharmacies, and according to IMS figures 12/07, H&S was the market leader in the field of medicinal teas in filter bags ; since August 2008 this has been Sidroga . In addition to so-called medicinal teas, house teas, organic teas and feel-good teas are also produced. Around 300 employees work in the office and in the field at the various company locations.

H & S's tea packing shop has been located in Soltau since August 1st, 1960. For the offer of contract manufacturing, individual tea blends are produced there and at the headquarters in Kressbronn for customers, which are sold as own brands of the trade. In addition to the production of food, the company has specialized in mechanical engineering, especially packaging machines for tea. In 1965 the East India Tea Compagnie (OITC) was bought and still exists today. With the acquisition, the Clipper Tee brand was also taken over.

Another area of ​​the company is the Goldmännchen-TEE in St. Gangloff in Thuringia. Since December 1, 1990, teas have been mixed at the location of the old Thuringian company. Goldmännchen-TEE emerged from a former state- owned enterprise (VEB) of the GDR. This makes the company H&S the market leader in the tea sector in the new federal states. The trademark for Goldmännchen-TEE was registered on July 3, 1955. The symbol, a stylized Chinese man with a tea bag, was designed by the artist Bernd Bytomski. The Goldmännchen symbol is also included on the Chinois d'Or tea brand for the Swiss market and on a milk drink as a dietary supplement with a high physiological calorific value .

In 2001, Wolfgang Klar took over the management of H&S Tee, and in 2003 another distribution center was put into operation at the headquarters in Kressbronn.
