Tea is the most popular beverage in the world after water. But tea industry was always always behind her biggest rivalry, Coffee when it comes to innovations. During 5000 years of long history, tea industry had only very few product or technical innovations. Continuous innovation is vital for the betterment of any industry. With people’s modern day busy life style, convenience factor plays a vital role in marketing. By the mean time, as Packing News had reported, Melitta Single Portions has launched Avoury, which is a new line of speciality organic tea capsules manufactured from certified circular polypropylene (PP) which uses feedstock made from used plastic.

Melitta has been partnered with Sabic’s Trucircle portfolio to make these transparent plastic tea capsules manufactured from post-consumer recycled plastic.

These tea capsules are created specifically for the new Avoury One tea machine launched in late 2019, that enables the consumer to make a cup of speciality tea with just the click of a button. The transparent tea capsules allowing consumers to not only taste the high-quality tea, but also to see it inside the capsule.

This capsule is an aesthetically pleasing, lightweight design which preserves the quality of the tea while supporting to address food safety regulations needed for food and beverage products. This packaging is heat-resistant to protect the tea leaves, while enabling tea to freely develop its own flavours.

Melitta Single Portions CEO Holger Feldmann mentioned: “We naturally want to ensure an exceptional tea experience and we want to prove that it is possible for resources to be used responsibly. With Avoury tea capsules we can prove both.”

Sabic’s Trucircle solution for certified circular Sabic Qrystal copolymer, utilized for this innovative packaging which can be contributed towards the development of a circular economy, according to the company.

While appreciating innovations like these, I must tell my dear tea lovers that there is nothing better than a freshly brewed tea pot with loose leaf tea. No matter whether it’s Black, Oolong, Green or White. Just enjoy your cuppa with a great deal of joy. Cheers!
