At the Natural & Organic Products Europe event in London, Claire Phoenix spoke with Or Tea owner Allen Wong and business development director Jacco Crezee.
Launched 18 months ago in Holland and Belgium, Or Tea is Chinese focused, differentiating this range from other teas and uses ingredients such as ginseng and organic ginger powder.
The company launched its Chinese tea series including oolong, green, black and jasmine then developed a wellbeing series inspired by the Chinese medicine philosophy including slimming Pu-erh Tea, ginseng tea and warming ginger tea.
Looking for a way to drink Matcha tea cold, the company came up with the idea of storing 1.5g of matcha in the cap with Japanese spring water in the bottle. By twisting the cap 360 degrees the matcha drops into the water then after shaking it is ready to consume. This drink keeps its natural antioxidant cleansing benefits for one day before losing its efficacy.
The company also recently launched a Japanese rose tea formulated to improve skin radiance and improve blood circulation.
