Healthy innovation drives Suki Tea's growth
Suki Tea, the Northern Irish boutique tea blender, is aiming for
healthy business with a new infusion of two 'super foods', Goji
Berry and Pomegranate.
The new infusion is among four within a record 50 innovative teas
just launched by the Belfast-based blender, winner of a host of UK
Great Taste Awards. Other refreshing new infusions are Organic Pink Grapefruit, Tangy Lemon and Blood Orange.
Pomegranate is regarded as a good source of fibre. It also contains vitamins A, C and E, iron and other antioxidants (notably tannins). Goji berries are said to be rich in vitamin C, vitamin B2, vitamin
A, iron, selenium and other antioxidants.
Additional teas in the company's portfolio also include two new
white teas and the same number of rooibos infusions.
Oscar Woolley, Suki Tea's managing director, commenting on the new
range, says: "We are immensely excited by the new products.
Launching 50 new teas and infusions shows the extent of our commitment to new product development that's customer focused.
"They are the outcome of a longstanding focus on innovation over
many years. We are operating in a very dynamic and challenging
industry in which our clients in foodservice are continually
searching for different tastes to offer their customers.
"Innovation is a cornerstone of our business, and we are always
exploring new taste blends. The 50 new teas and infusions are the
result of this strategic focus for us.
"We've also learned a huge amount from clients who have taken part
with us in our unique Tea Academy in Belfast. We've found this to bea great way to explore ideas with our clients especially in hotels, restaurants and hotels, and also to sample new products with them," he adds.
Formed in 2005 by Mr Woolley and business partner Anne Rooney, Suki Tea is also developing significant business outside Northern Irelandin markets such as Great Britain, the Republic of Ireland, Japan,

accreditation, an assessment process for smaller food companies,
which ensures consistently quality services for customers.
