Exhibitor: Tea-Pop
Developed for luxury inflight service, tea specialist Tea-Pop is taking the fuss and fiddle out of using loose leaf tea with a remarkable new and patent-pending Tea-Crystals. Tea-Pop products are made from the extraction of all the goodness of quality tea leaves, formed into a crystallised shape that will dissolve fully when mixed in hot and cold water, hence producing the perfect cup of tea. This process uses less leaves than conventional tea bags and without producing unnecessary wastage such as tea bags, as well as reducing the messiness of loose leaf tea-brewing and additional machinery. Nominated for this year’s Food Matter Live awards, Tea-Pop is an ideal companion for on-the-go tea drinkers and travel service businesses.
