Aacho brings more than tea to Gen‑E 2026

Aacho, the national winner of the 2026 YES Company Programme in Switzerland, will represent the country at #Gen_E 2026 in Riga, Latvia. The Upper Secondary Level – Business Track team from Alte Kantonsschule Aarau is turning tea into a story-driven experience that combines regional ingredients, sustainability and community.

Under the motto “Mee als Tee”, Aacho creates tea blends inspired by Switzerland’s diversity, with each variety representing a different community and canton. A QR code in every pack gives customers access to stories about the region behind the blend, transforming teatime into a small journey across Switzerland.

The team’s approach also reflects a strong commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially health, education and sustainable consumption. With a mission to bring people together, spark conversations and spread joy, Aacho shows how a simple product can connect enjoyment, knowledge and community.

Congratulations to Aacho, and we look forward to meeting the team at #Gen_E 2026 in Riga, Latvia.
