Instant tea is brewed Ceylon tea, concentrated and dried to a powder that dissolves in hot or cold water. Beverage makers use it for ready-to-drink tea, vending and 3-in-1 premixes, and food manufacturers use it as a tea flavour and colour.

How instant tea is used

Hot-water soluble powder suits vending machines and hot premixes. Cold-water soluble powder is made for iced tea and bottled drinks, where it must dissolve clear without heat. Buyers usually judge a lot by its colour in the cup, its taste, how fast it dissolves and whether it stays clear when chilled.

Quality and documents

Each lot can be tested by an independent laboratory before shipment. Export documents are arranged with the shipment.

Samples and lead time

Samples are arranged before an order. Price, minimum order and lead time are confirmed with the quotation.
