Protection for delicate tea aromas

Ordinary tea and good tea are miles apart. This is particularly true of fruit teas, which are difficult to compare with any other flavour and nuance if their aroma is well preserved. Fruit teas are also one of the most sensitive foodstuffs in terms of aroma.

Packaging is a decisive step towards the required end product, an enjoyable tea. To preserve the aromas, Walki Wisa Group, has developed a new barrier material for tea packaging. Thanks to a combination of special polymers, tea can now be packed only using paper board.

The original idea for the product came from a customer who was dissatisfied with the barrier properties of the available packaging materials and asked for a new, custom-made solution. Development work on the new aroma barrier lasted nearly one year and was carried out in close co-operation with one of Europe's biggest packaging manufacturers and the tea producer.
