Teabags for Foodservice- new 50ct size!
Teabags were first made available in 1904 by tea merchant Thomas Sullivan who packed his teas into individual servings for international distribution. The idea was to remove the loose tea for preparation, but customers found it simpler to steep right in the bag, and voila! A modern luxury was born. Mind you this was the same year iced tea was invented - a big year for Camelia sinensis!
Today's common teabag would most certainly disappoint Sullivan, as anyone interested in removing the contents will find only specks of tea dust (this is the actual technical term), the smallest grade of tea leaf in the industrialized world. These teabags are designed to quickly release flavor into hot water, quality and pedigree of the leaf be darned. They most often produce something either flavorless, or entirely offensive if successful in infusing the water with its stale and bitter brew.
In recent years the pyramid shaped bag has entered the stage. These larger infusers are a helpful improvement, Sullivan would be pleased. Not only can one view the contents, usually larger more appetizing leaves, but the shape of the bag enables contents to fully infuse and unfurl in hot water, ensuring a more flavorful and healthful cup.
All of Adagio's teabags are of this latter variety, using the same whole leaves we pack loose.
This month we introduce a convenient 50ct portion of some of our most popular teas, and pass the savings onto you.
You may now find the following teas with 50ct foodservice teabag options on our wholesale page.
We hope the extension of these offerings benefits you and your guests. As always, feel free to email me with questions or suggestions.
