  5. ^ 04.07.2022 Tchibo has sold its Russian subsidiary and thus ends its involvement in Russia. The company offered only coffee products in Russia. Immediately after the beginning of the war, the supply of coffee had been discontinued. The roasting of Tchibo coffee at a contract manufacturer in Russia was stopped and all marketing activities and the online presence were terminated. https://www.tchibo.com/blog/our-response-to-the-war-in-ukraine
