US-based Rishi Tea, a provider of organic and fair trade loose-leaf teas, introduced its first line of specialty tea sachets.
The company said it is marketing the tea with a knit-mesh filter bag that lends a different flavor, aroma and body, unlike the standard paper/silky tea bags.
Rishi Tea founder and president Joshua Kaiser said they are introducing tea lovers to the fullest flavors and aromatic, vivid infusions they've ever experienced from a tea sachet.
"We found a looser weave was needed to improve the overall tea bag experience in restaurants and foodservice at a cost per bag that meets or beats the current silky tea bag brands," Kaiser said.
According to the company, the bagged teas are available in 50 count bulk boxes, cafe style counter top dispenser tins and 15-count dispenser boxes made of 100% recycled post-consumer paper which are said to be chlorine free processed and printed with soy ink.
It is available now in restaurants, hotels and food service in 10 organic tea sachet flavors.
Rishi Tea, founded in 1997, offers more than 100 types of organic loose teas, tea bags, iced teas, micro-brewed masala chai and unique accessories through its online shop, select coffee roasters, all natural and gourmet retailer channels.
