Only natural flavours, flavour extract and nature-identical flavours are used to refine superior quality teas. To extract the natural flavours, natural raw indredients are physically, enzymatically or microbiologically processed. Ie: squeezed, distilled, heated, ground, fermented or chopped. Nature-identical flavours have the same chemical composition as natural flavours, except that they are synthetically produced indistinguishable reproductions of their natural counterparts. Many teas are made without additional flavours. In those teas, the desired aroma and taste is achieved soley by the ingredients such as fruit, herbs, spices or blossoms.
The success story of flavoured teas in Europe began about 100 years ago with the Earl Grey tea, a black tea enhanced with the oil extracted from the bergamot orange. This classic is still very popular among tea drinkers and is a must in any credible, well selected tea assortment.
