Launch Your Own Herbal Tea Brand This Christmas

Christmas is the one time of year when everyone is hunting for a gift that feels thoughtful. A beautifully packed tea is an easy yes: it looks lovely, it is not too expensive, and nobody needs to worry about size or colour. If you have been thinking about launching your own tea brand, this is a very good moment.

The catch is time. The window is short, so the decisions need to happen quickly. Here is how to do it well.

FORMULATION

Complimentary Formulation: Get the Recipe Right Without Paying for It

Many people hesitate because developing a recipe feels like a big cost before a single tea bag is sold. At Anantah Foods, formulation is complimentary. Tell us the feeling you want, whether that is cosy, festive, calming or gift-worthy, and the ingredients you love. We build the blend, send samples and adjust until it tastes right.

Already have a recipe of your own? We sign an NDA first and work from yours. Either way, you only move forward when you are happy with the cup.

• Complimentary formulation for your herbal tea blend.
• Customise your blend around cosy, festive, calming or gift-worthy themes.
• - Share your preferred ingredients with the Anantah Foods team.
• Receive samples and request adjustments until you are happy with the taste.
• Existing recipes can be developed under an NDA.

SUSTAINABILITY

Choose Biodegradable Tea Bags

Gifting customers care about what is inside the box, and more and more of them care about what the tea bag is made of. We offer biodegradable pyramid tea bags for herbal and black teas. The pyramid shape gives whole leaves and flowers room to open, and the mesh lets your customer see the actual ingredients, which looks great in a gift box. We also offer nylon mesh, so you can choose by budget and by the story you want to tell.

One tip on wording. Describe your pack as biodegradable if that is what your tea bag material is, and avoid claiming it is compostable unless you hold the certification to support it.
