Everything has a scope for innovation.... 😌 Take Woolah Tea- World's First Bagless TeaDip for example.... 🎯 I like tea but I rarely drink it compared to coffee which I drink every morning. It's primarily because of two reasons. One of them is to avoid the tea bag system of brewing tea. Tea bags are made of plastic fibre. Those hurt you by introducing #microplastics into your body. And hurt the environment by not decaying. For me, #sustainability is more important than a sip of tea.... 🌱 Then came #Woolah with the solution of tying tea leaves with natural cotton threads instead of the teabags. And it both tastes and looks better than the green tea that comes in teabags.... 🍵 #branding #branddesigner #brandstrategy #brandconsultant

🍃Did your know that Tea’s flavour is derived from the oil contained in the leaves and whole leaves contain the most oil. When tea leaves are picked, they are rolled and dried then sorted according to size. ✅They are graded from whole leaves and buds to fannings and dust particles. Often fannings and tea dust, the lower grades of tea, are selected for use in tea bags by well-known brands. 🫖Here at Twist Teas however, we only select top quality whole leaf tea for our blends and we do this to optimise flavour and health benefits ☕ Read more on hand blending: https://lnkd.in/eiaqvbvm #independentbusiness #femalefounders #buylocal #sustainable #ethical #ecofriendlyproducts #bcorpcertified #bcorpcertified #foodservice #foodandbeverageindustry #hotelindustry #quality #premium #premiumingredients #healthy #noaddedsweetners #handblended #tealovers #content #marketing #awardwinning #taste

☕ Will there be coffee in your 'coffee' in the future? Maybe not. ☕ It used to be 'Arabica' that you saw everywhere as an established mark of quality coffee, but now the word 'Robusta' is becoming more commonplace on the packages of coffee I see and on the high street. From the point of view of sustainability, that's no bad thing. Even if I still find some of the Robusta flavours harder to get used to. But with the effects of climate change pushing coffee prices up, is there also a place for something entirely synthetic? Some large coffee companies have been working hard to bring fully synthetic 'coffees' to the mainstream market place, so they may be on a coffee menu near you very soon. I guess for me it begs the question, 'will I remain a purist? or can I be persuaded to embrace a new and different type of 'coffee'?' Can that feel-good sensory joy I get from a freshly ground roasted coffee bean be re-created with something synthetic. If it can, I may be sold... What about you? Are you open to embracing a synthetic 'coffee' in your cup? #coffee #syntheticcoffee #sustainability #thefutureofcoffee

Tea Bags vs. Loose-Leaf Tea: What's the big difference? At Cured Leaves Tea Co., we’re passionate about delivering the best tea experience. Here’s a look at how tea bags and loose-leaf tea differ: Loose-leaf tea offers a richer, more nuanced flavor profile due to the use of whole leaves. The essential oils in the leaves are preserved, resulting in a more aromatic and flavorful cup. In contrast, tea bags often contain tea dust and fannings, leading to a flatter, less vibrant taste. Health-wise, loose-leaf tea retains more antioxidants and essential nutrients, providing greater health benefits. The larger surface area of the leaves allows for better extraction of beneficial compounds. On the other hand, tea bags, with their finely ground leaves, can lose some of their nutritional value during processing. Environmentally, loose-leaf tea is typically more eco-friendly. It requires minimal packaging, reducing waste. Most loose-leaf tea packaging is recyclable or compostable. In contrast, tea bags often contain plastic and non-biodegradable materials, contributing to environmental pollution. The brewing experience with loose-leaf tea is more customizable and immersive. You can adjust the amount of tea and steeping time to suit your personal preference. Tea bags, while convenient, offer less flexibility in terms of flavor control. Understanding these differences can help you appreciate the unique qualities and benefits of each type of tea.
