Tea consists of natural ingredients, making it highly susceptible to staleness and loss of flavor, and Teabox TeaPacs are a way to prolong the freshness of tea for significantly longer than with traditional tea bags. Teabox TeaPacs are individually sealed tea bags designed to keep tea as fresh as the day it was picked.
Teabox has developed its freshness system using a completely natural process. The company applies a natural nitrogen flush to its teas, which creates a non-reactive environment free from oxygen, light, heat and moisture. This ultimately prevents oxidization and keeps the teas from losing flavor.
Since Teabox is a direct-to-consumer retailer, it is able to apply the nitrogen flush directly at the source, extensively limiting the teas' exposure to the elements in the time between picking and drinking.
