The quality and exellence of its products soon result in a multitude of devoted customers in the Russian Empire and neighboring countries. In 1904, Wissotzky widens its trading activities in Europe.

A branch is opened in New York to answer the growing demand by Russian newcomers for the quality they were accustomed to in the old country.

To this day, the company is active in selecting and purchasing tea coming from all corners of the globe.
