Tea & Coffee 12/04 - 2005 Tea & Coffee Industry Forecast (#)
„The most important change that I’ve seen and continue to watch is the involvement by the bigger commercial interests in sustainable coffee sourcing. Everyone closely watched P&G and Millstone to see if they were just “greenwashing” but I think that their commitment is pretty solid, all things considered. The announcement that both Wal-Mart and Target were sourcing Fair Trade came as a surprise but was welcome news. I think they have looked not only at Starbucks but also at Dunkin’ Donuts and have decided that there is enough resonance with “sustainability” issues in their customer bases that it’s a good move.“

„The product line, based in Scotland is certified organic by the Soil Association, an independent charity for sustainable development. The line has an “urban” feel to it, and includes all organic teas in six flavors: berry, black, sweet chamomile, Earl Grey, green, and peppermint & licorice. Each teabag has a witty musing on the back of the packet, which helps to personalize the tea drinking experience and connect the consumer to the brand. For example, the black tea packet says, “our blender says it’s got the genuine Hill Country Uva flavour.“

Tea & Coffee 03/03 - Comments on the Decaf Coffee Market
„and president, noted that his company’s business has also been growing steadily over the past year. “We’ve taken great care not only to understand how best to decaffeinate coffee with 100% pure water, but we’ve also invested a lot in understanding the decaffeinated coffee drinker so that we can work with our roaster/customers in helping them communicate with those coffee drinkers.” Asked about the newer entries into the ‘100% water’ decaffeination arena, Dennis had this to say, “We’re flattered to see our competitors introducing “100% water” and “pure water” processes but we’ve been decaffeinating with pure water using our patented process for a long time - we believe the quality of our product reflects that experience.…our plant, by the way, has been open to tours since the day it opened.”“

„“Many of the equipment companies that we’ve been working with have simple coffee brewing machines that are very inexpensive,” he says. “Some of them are under $200, where you can use the stainless steel carafe; you pull the basket out of the unit and the carafe fits right in there with our infuser and it brews right into the carafe. So for around $200, you’ve got an automatic tea brewing system. That’s the best, it’s really cool.“
