Tea is delivered to the factory by sea and rail. Supplies of black and green tea come from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), India, China, Kenya and Indonesia. In production, they work with tea varieties: "Premium", "Extra", "Higher" and "First grade". All but the first relate to packaged production. In order to achieve a standard taste, color and aroma, different batches of tea are mixed or, as they say at the factory, "blending". A batch is a limited amount of tea from a certain plantation, which grew at a certain time and has its own original properties. Before proceeding to mixing, the components are selected by software methods and organoleptic analysis. Then the tea goes to the factory. The production speed is from 40 to 60 tons per shift, delivery takes place in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Germany, the Baltic states and, of course, in the cities of Russia.

1. Production takes place in several stages. The first stage is the “unloading” of tea from bags and cleaning from metal-magnetic impurities.

3. Two employees monitor the quality of incoming tea.

4. After the tea received for production is cleaned from metal-magnetic impurities and flaw detection, the leaves of all batches begin to be blended in a large drum until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

5. After blending, the resulting mixture is moved through the pipes to the “bunkers”, where in the future there will again be another quality check.

6. Here tea is given its own special taste and aroma.

7. As soon as the tea goes through all the stages of preparation, it remains to go through the last stage of production - packaging.

8. Packaging shop.

9. Non-packaged production is simple, the tea is divided into even quantities and placed in a package.

11. But with bags, everything turned out to be much more complicated than it might seem at first glance. The most promising product is Curtis and Maisky teas in pyramids. There are only three machines for creating "pyramids" in this workshop. One of them arrived just a few days ago. Suppliers from Japan monitor the condition and quality of the production of these machines, they also train the factory staff.

13. The production of ordinary tea bags, which have long been familiar to everyone, is much better established.

14. One such machine produces 394 to 405 tea bags per minute. The operator carefully monitors the condition and cleanliness.

15. The foreman himself starts the machine :)

16. Average work speed

17. The last stage remains - packing ready-made tea in packs and boxes, and sending it for sale.

18. Packaging is done by hand, usually 2-3 people do it. One receives the finished product, the second packs the boxes, the third carries.

19. After filming, several people asked me the question: “Which tea is more, in bags or leaf?”. The answer turned out to be this: Tea bags are considered relevant, but their popularity is not stable and depends on the season.
In the general account, both sheet and sachets are sold equally.

Everyone is used to buying tea in the store in already familiar packaging. It is the key to the quality of the tea leaf, and most importantly, it keeps it for a long time, as it protects from external influences. The state authorities impose special requirements on the packaging process, which relate to both the quality of the sheet itself and the packaging. What you need to know about the packaged product to always drink good tea

What is packaged tea

Green and black packaged tea is a leaf, granular and small product that is packaged in soft or semi-rigid (metallized) packages of 25-250 grams or more. For industrial use, packaging of 1.5 kg is allowed. If we are talking about tea for single use, that is, packaged, it is scattered into filter bags weighing 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 grams, depending on the variety and category.

The most stringent requirements are imposed on tea of ​​the highest grade and "Bouquet" - large-leaf, which, in accordance with the technical conditions, cannot be mixed with products of lower quality.

According to GOST, the first, second and third grades of tea are also distinguished, the quality of which is determined by the size of the leaf, taste, color of the infusion and other indicators.

When packing tea of ​​the “Bouquet” variety, the presence of small things in the package is allowed in the amount of not more than 1% of the total mass. For other varieties, this figure can reach 5%. Black long leaf tea of ​​the highest quality should have an even twisted leaf, a transparent infusion, pronounced astringency and a red-brown brew color. The intensity of all indicators decreases from "Bouquet" to the third grade.

Green tea, when packed, must meet the same technical conditions as black tea. Here, the same list of varieties is distinguished from “Bouquet” to the third, similar volumes for packaging, the differences relate only to organoleptic properties, which is due to the natural characteristics of the product. High-quality green tea must have a pleasant astringency, delicate aroma, light green transparent color of the infusion.

How tea is packaged

Tea is packaged at factories that buy large quantities of the product from producing countries. Bulk tea is transported in overall containers - bags, boxes, boxes of 10 or more kilograms. At the initial stage of packing, the sheet is cleaned from various kinds of impurities, including metal-magnetic ones.

At the second stage, different types of tea are mixed in a large drum, that is, the blending process is carried out, due to which the best taste, aroma and color of the infusion is achieved during brewing. Next comes the main stage - direct packaging in bags and boxes. A special apparatus automatically divides the tea into equal portions and places it in a package. An intermediate stage preceding direct packaging is the process of giving the sheet a given aroma and taste, if this is provided by the technology.

Filter bag filling machine

Tea in filter bags is produced by a special machine. Depending on the brand, its capacity can reach 400 bags per minute or more. In the process of packing into bags, all stages, except for packing into large boxes, are performed by machines. A person here only controls the process and sets the necessary parameters. The machine feeds paper, measures the right amount of tea, wraps it with a thread with a label. There are machines that collect the specified number of bags and put them into boxes, which are later wrapped in plastic wrap. The last step is often performed by humans.

Depending on the brand, filter bags may simply be press-sealed, or they may have threads with tags. Packing equipment can work with black, green, herbal, flower tea. There are machines that produce not only single-chamber filter bags, but also oval and pyramidal ones.

You can buy empty bags in packs and fill them yourself with tea, herbs, berries and fruits, creating your favorite combinations.

The last two types are more expensive, but the quality of the infusion does not change from this. These are purely aesthetic preferences. To check the quality of tea, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the filter bag itself. If it is made of a fine-mesh plastic mesh with large holes, then the manufacturer has packed a large sheet into it, since fine dust simply spills out of it. Paper filter bags have small pores, so tea dust is securely fixed in them.

Packing Requirements

When packing tea, special attention is paid to the quality of the packaging, since the shelf life of the product and its taste properties depend on it. Tea packaging involves the use of glass, wooden, metal, paper boxes with a capacity of 5 g to 3 kg. In some cases, packing in polyethylene films intended for food products with a capacity of 200 g to 3 kg is allowed.

Types of tea packaging are diverse, colorful and well remembered.

If we are talking about soft packaging, it should consist of an inner paper part and an outer foil part. Semi-rigid packaging also distinguishes between the inner foil part and the outer cardboard part. This is the most common packaging option for both black and green tea, called cardboard packs.

Teabags must be packed in plastic bags or cardboard boxes. The bags themselves should have a capacity of 2 to 4 g, made of non-soakable porous paper. Additionally, filter bags can be packed in individual metallized bags.

Kraft paper bags are the most common and safest option for tea packaging.

Paper, cardboard, foil and other materials for packaging tea must be made from a certain grade of material, taking into account its weight and production method. Today, there are many more variations of tea leaf packaging, but the main technical conditions must be met by each manufacturer.

Packing filter bags

The history of the single-use packaging bag began over 100 years ago with a misunderstanding that later turned into a profitable business. English businessman Thomas Sullivan began to send small portions of new blends of tea leaves in silk bags instead of the usual cans. Tasters and potential buyers considered this a misunderstanding, but brewed tea directly from the bag.

Today, tea bags are packaged in a special filter paper that does not get wet and allows the tea leaf to straighten and brew well.

The main condition for obtaining a fast and strong infusion is the use of such a type of tea as fannings. It is a crushed tea leaf, which quickly releases all extractive components to hot water.

Tea bags are not always made from the lowest grade leaf or so-called waste products. Many well-known companies produce the product by self-grinding a large leaf in order to further obtain a drink rich in taste, color and aroma in a matter of seconds. Unscrupulous manufacturers pack the smallest leaf and tea dust into filter bags, and in order to improve the organoleptic properties of the drink, they enrich it with artificial flavors and dyes.

The production of tea or coffee bags is difficult to set up at home as a business. Such production requires a special room for the storage and packaging of raw materials, placement of equipment and workers. In China, some of the most expensive teas are hand-packed into tea bags, weighing each one on a special scale. This is often done by families for whom it is a business that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The history of packaged tea is almost as long as the history of growing the leaf itself. Tea companies never cease to amaze customers with new blends, various flavors and aromas to make the tea ceremony even more enjoyable and bring people together.

Packing and packaging of tea- this is not only a necessity for marketing, but also a mandatory measure aimed at maintaining the quality and consumer properties of this bulk product during storage and transportation.

Indeed, without proper hermetic packaging, tea becomes damp, deteriorates, loses its aroma, and absorbs foreign odors. And such a product is not only not suitable for sale, but also darkens the reputation of the manufacturer, supplier and distributor.

Our company offers packaging services for weight tea of ​​various composition, type and consistency:

• packing and packing of leaf tea (large and medium leaf black, white, green, red, oolong and other teas);
• packing and packaging of tea mixed with pieces of fruit, berries and flower petals;

The entire packaging process is carried out by automated packaging equipment, which does not allow failures and delays, non-compliance of pre-packaged portions of the product with the established weight, violations of the technology of packaging and packaging of tea.

Packing tea bags

Thanks to our automated bulk product filling line, weight dosage is ensured, and tea packaging in transparent or colored bags in the shape of a pillow or with a flat bottom, which are formed by the machine itself from a roll of polyethylene or polypropylene film directly in the packaging process. These bags are hermetically sealed by heat sealing. Depending on the weight and volume of the packaged portion, tea bags can be of various sizes. It is also possible to pack tea in ready-made packaging - doypacks.

Also, our company provides the possibility of packaging tea under the customer's trademark. To do this, with automated packaging, a pre-prepared, original-design packaging film in a roll is used to form bags. If necessary, we are ready to provide designer services to develop an exclusive trademark and create an interesting design of bags for tea packaging.

On a note: the best tea packaging- this is a polypropylene bag that has excellent protective properties, protects the dry bulk product from water condensate and exposure to sunlight, reliably preserves all the beneficial properties of tea. In addition, polypropylene (originally white) is ideal for applying bright patterns, inscriptions and trademarks. Your tea, packaged in such bags, will certainly win the favor of consumers.
