Tea capsules – from luxury beverage to lifestyle drink
There are many different types and blends of tea. Introduced to Europe as a luxury drink, black tea contains up to 4.5 percent caffeine. For tea to develop its full aroma, it needs to be prepared correctly. This is no small task, as every blend has its own characteristics. If tea is steeped for too long, caffeine and tannins are released into the beverage, giving it a bitter taste, while its stimulating effect decreases. Other important factors are water pressure and water temperature. Again, the ideal pressure and temperature vary from blend to blend.
That is why it takes years of experience to brew the perfect cup of tea. Alternatively, one can leave it up to a tea machine and the right capsules. With a smart machine and capsules made from best materials containing a high-quality blend whose flavors have been preserved in the filling process, consumers can now produce a perfect cup of tea by simply pressing a button.
Tea has long become the preferred beverage of people who are committed to healthy lifestyle, and demand for special tea blends is growing rapidly, especially for products with functional ingredients and natural additives.
This is a market where tea capsules come to the fore, as the right aroma seal allows for the addition of vitamins and minerals to enhance green and black tea as well as other infusion ingredients. Superfoods such as curcuma and lemon grass turn tea into a healthy lifestyle beverage free of preservatives and artificial flavor enhancers.
