Fruits, herbs and spices as mono-components or for use in premium blends
While herbal and fruit teas are referred to as tea in everyday speech – and for the sake of simplicity, on this website as well – by definition they are not teas, as they do not contain any tea leaves. Rather, they are tea-like infusions.
Trading and processing fruits, herbs and spices has long been an important part of Hälssen & Lyon’s range of services.
We offer them as mono-components or use them as ingredients for the innumerable fruit teas, herbal teas or tea blends that we create and produce for international customers – adapted to the preferences of the respective market.
We clean, sort and cut the raw materials in-house in our own plant
The processing of raw materials is particularly important. At our specialist factory in Thuringia the raw materials are cleaned, sorted and cut according to the highest quality standards.
We offer the following cuts sizes for various packaging sizes:
- Coarse cut
- Special cut
- Fine cut
- Granules
