Retail Packaging For Speciality Teas
Too often they lack distinctive, balanced flavour. Whilst we have many young customers exploring teas not traditionally drunk in the UK such as green, oolong and white we also have many older customers who remember quality, large leaf teas purchased from high street merchants and delicatessens which they cannot now obtain. We are now making our teas available to both customer groups through specialist retail channels.
For cafes, restaurants and hotels we offer our teas in bulk for consumption on the premises but there are some that wish to offer their customers and guests the teas they have enjoyed to take home with them. For this purpose we offer our teas in triple-laminated paper, foil and coloured cellophane packets. For gift purposes we offer tin box caddies with hinged lids which have full colour labels printed front and back and for higher volumes these are available in specially embossed tins. We also offer selections of four caddies in themes such as Tea for the Morning and even Tea for the Adventurous! For multiples we are able to create specially designed dual branded packaging based upon packets, tins or card tubes.
We work with talented designers to create exciting packaging to communicate the traditions, qualities and diversity of speciality teas, many of which originate from some of the world’s most dramatic landscapes and have huge tea producing history.
For customers where the thought of preparing loose leaf tea is just a step too far, especially if the tea is to be made for just one person, we offer our teas in cartons of biodegradable mesh infusion bags which are suitable for the large leaf teas in which we specialise.
At this point you might ask ‘why do you focus upon large leaf teas?’ The answer is that it takes several minutes for tea to brew and yield the full balance of flavours. However, teabags are designed to brew much more quickly by using a small leaf; fannings. If these fannings are allowed to brew for the same period they would be too tannic or astringent. They therefore do not offer the full balanced flavour of large leaf teas. This is why large leaf teas are enjoying somewhat of a resurgence. In part this has been made more attractive by stylish glass teapots with removable infusers and infusion bags. In creating new packaging options we aim to present the contemporary appeal, flavour and diversity of our traditional teas.
