Expertise in Medicinal Herbs since 1795

Your Traditional Specialist Shop for Tea and Medicinal Herbs

Located in the centre of Vienna since 1795, our family business has been combining centuries-old knowledge with the highest quality and personal advice over nine generations. It all began with the opening of the Medicinische Kräuter Handlung (“medicinal herb shop”) in the priory house of the Schottenstift on the inner-city Freyung. What began as a small herbalist's shop developed over the centuries into the first address for medicinal herbs in Vienna. The family expanded the business – later known as Mag. Kottas Kräuterhaus – and passed on the tradition of Alpine herbal knowledge from generation to generation. Two things remained unchanged over the years: our high-quality standards and our love for nature.

A Touch of History – Experience the KOTTAS Kräuterhaus!

The nostalgic atmosphere of the imperial and royal era can be felt as soon as you enter our KOTTAS Kräuterhaus. Behind the sales counter, over 200-year-old drawers labelled in Latin contain carefully dried medicinal herbs in pharmacopoeia and pharmacy quality. A beguiling aroma of sage, lavender, peppermint and other herbs fills the air, awakening memories of tried and tested home remedies and inviting you to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of medicinal plants.
