Tettnang Hop Pellets (DE)

Tettnang Tettnanger Hops

The Tettnang Tettnanger variety, also known as Tettnanger, is a traditional and indigenous hop from the Saaz group. It is mainly cultivated around Tettnang in the Lake Constance region of Germany. This location provides favorable climate and sandy clay soils that promote the production of fine hop aroma. This variety has a good tolerance to plant diseases. Tettnang Tettnanger is widely used in lager beer styles and is prized for its refined, complex noble character — with an exceptionally high Farnesene content (16–24%) that sets it apart from other Saaz-group varieties.
