Innovation

The (r)evolution of tea

We have developed a technology that allows black tea, green tea, fruit tea and herbal tea to be infused with cold water.Genuine, honest iced tea made from dried tea, fruit, herbs and dried fruit juice concentrates, brewed in just 15-20 minutes with cold water.The tea components are germ-reduced and comply with THIE recommendations for cold brewed teas.The iced teas can also be sweetened with sugar or sweeteners (according to customer requirements) (our recommendation: low sugar - only 3.5g/100 ml).The iced teas can be packaged in bags for 200 ml - 500 ml ( 16-17 OZ), 1 liter ( 32-34 OZ) , 2 liters or 4 liters ( 1 gakkon) per infusions.Simple handling. You don't need any machines or electricity. Just cold drinking water and a suitable container.The tea bag can remain in the container (the tea will steep a little more and become even stronger).

If you are interested - please contact us.We offer our customers individual product developments and can recommend packers in Europe and the USA who can already pack this concept. Are you interested in the raw materials and would like to develop your own blends and mix them yourself? We are also happy to offer you our cold brew teas as raw materials.

Product Safety

Your safety comes first

Product safety is our top priority. Because only healthy, high-quality products create consumer confidence.

That is why we analyze all raw materials down to the last detail. In our quality assurance system, we have analyzed all relevant risk parameters such as pesticides, glyphosates, heavy metals. Microbiology, PA/TA, mycotoxins, etc. are finely meshed. Only when all tests have been passed do the raw materials enter further processing.

However, many of our customers have even stricter requirements than the legal minimum. We have therefore developed extra quality clusters:
 
- SKODA complies with EU marketability for processed food (compound food).
- VW meets even stricter EU guidelines in the "other herbal teas" category.
- AUDI offers absolute top quality with up to 50% below the limit values for the highest quality requirements for the German retail trade.

So you get exactly the level of safety that suits your product concept and your target group. Because your reputation as a trustworthy brand is our greatest asset. With our diligence, we ensure that you can continue to justify this trust in the future

Procurement Responsibility

Sustainability through responsible supply chains. In our procurement, we attach great importance to fair and ethically sound production conditions. To this end, we source raw materials from over 60 countries - exclusively from audited and approved partners.Our high standards are based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. In our contracts, we explicitly oblige suppliers to comply with basic social and ecological standards, which are also checked and monitored on site.Through our commitment, we ensure that our products are manufactured in compliance with the highest social and environmental standards. We purchase more than 70% of our raw materials in certified organic quality and have also preferred to use these in conventional blends for many years. We also support sustainable agriculture projects. This is the only way we can create honest added value - for people and nature.With our revolutionary online transparency portal, we also give you transparent access to the entire supply chain right down to the farm. Here you will find the recipe produced for each blend supplied, all available raw material analyses of the individual ingredients, countries of origin, suppliers at the source, their certifications, photos of the warehouses, production facilities and the respective farms and much more.

Transparency from the field to the glass

Welcome to the glass house of transparency.

With our revolutionary transparency portal, we give you a unique look behind the scenes of our global supply chains.Here you can track in detail the countries of origin of the raw material batches used for your blends and which suppliers were involved right down to the farm. All of our suppliers' certifications (quality management certificates, organic, Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, Naturland, kosher, supplier questionnaires, Code of Conduct, etc.) can be viewed there.

You will find a QR code for each batch on our order confirmations. You can use this QR code to trace the supply chain of each individual batch of raw materials in detail, including supplier certifications, for each blend. You can also pass this QR code on to your customers if required.

For data protection reasons, it is not possible to show the names and addresses of suppliers. However, to avoid this problem, we will provide you with our internal supplier numbers, which can be viewed at any time for verification purposes.

Transparency has never been so easy! You can rely on our commitment to complete traceability. Our portal provides a unique insight into the reality of sustainable supply chains.
