History
Originally known as Tatranský čaj, the Tatratea brand originates in lodges set in the high altitudes of the High Tatra Mountains.
An old custom is that visitors to chalets high in the Tatra Mountains were welcomed in from the cold with hot herbal tea doused in a concentrated alcohol.
This hot herbal tea formed the base for Tatratea.
Tatratea brand was founded at the beginning of 2003 by Ján Semaňák after he decided to supply the tea in Slovakia.
At the end of 2003, after one year of development, the first Tatratea liqueur was launched in the market. Sales figures being promising, Ján Semaňák began, the next year, large-scale production.
Tatratea became a six-flavour lineup and is now considered a Slovak national drink.
The whole liqueur range is distributed in more than a dozen countries.
