QTrade is passionate about converting natural ingredients into sensory experiences that customers crave. It has a culture of innovation, and its deep sourcing connections allow quick response to the market. Building a successful recipe goes beyond simply finding a creative fusion of appearance, aroma, and flavor.
Loose leaf teas offer dramatic visuals and aroma, the most complex flavor, and the theater of the brewing process, complete with "the agony of the leaves", all grounded in and springing from the unique terrior that produced the tea. Loose-leaf tea is the widest canvas to showcase the richness of the specialty tea experience.
Eighty per cent of American tea consumption is fresh-brewed iced tea. A glass of iced tea is a welcome and familiar source of refreshment at food-service providers and customers' homes. The specialty tea industry is entering this commodity market, and the potential for growth is enormous. Iced-tea consumers are increasingly looking for complexity of flavor, innovative ingredients, and different ways to access recipes.
Pyramid sachets take the rich loose-leaf experience and make it a little more convenient. They apportion the product, and make the brewing process faster and easier, while retaining much of the sensory experience of loose leaf. It is deceptively difficult to transition from a loose-leaf recipe to a commercial pyramid sachet product.
QTrade embraces new brewing and packaging technologies, and celebrates every new option for consumers to experience specialty tea. Single-serve packages offer great convenience, and allow a consumer to inexpensively experience different flavors. Time, or rather, the lack of it, is the big challenge for single-serve recipes, which must brew to perfection in under 20 seconds.
