Our Assortment

Detlefen & Balk is one of the oldest trading companies for specialty shops and is characterised by tradition, experience and innovation. With our collection of teas, coffees, sweets and accessories you will be able to add that certain something to your store.

Tea

There are very few foods that are as multifaceted as tea. Being one of the most important among both the basic and the luxury foods, it artfully combines tradition with modernity.

Coffee

Our roast master transforms exceptional green coffee beans into superior quality coffees in our very own roaster. We like to take particular care in the choice of our coffees, in the roasting process and, finally, their storage.

Confiserie

Freshness and quality are at the very heart of the product selection for our assortment. We distance ourselves from industrially produced items, which are in competition with classical supermarket qualities.

Accessories

Our accessories are mainly presented in speciality stores. This by itself already obliges us to offer special qualities. Therefore, we seek to create products for the speciality store customer.
