Numi® Organic Tea Blends Coming to RealCup™ Single-serve Capsules
Numi® Brings Convenience to the Teacup with RealCup™ Brand
MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - RealCup™ brand and Numi® Organic Tea are teaming up to bring convenience and quality to teacups everywhere with the introduction of single-serve capsules to the Numi® line of organic teas.
Numi® is a family owned and operated business that was founded in 1999 by siblings Ahmed and Reem Rahim. Numi®, one the fastest growing tea companies in the United States, is the leading brand importer of fair trade certified tea in North America and one of the top worldwide.
Numi's® blends are created with organic and fair trade certified teas and herbs from around the world using fuller leaf teas and only 100% real ingredients; no "natural" flavorings that can give teas a perfume like taste. Numi® is committed to supporting a healthy, thriving global community through organic ingredients and ground breaking sustainability practices.
An innovator in the tea industry, Numi® introduced Rooibos, Honeybush, and Flowering Tea™ to the U.S. market, pioneered whole leaf tea in tea bags, as well as a full-line of pu-erh teas. Most recently, Numi® introduced Savory Tea™, a first of its kind product line consisting of vegetable, spice, and tea infusions to the U.S. market in 2013.
Numi® chose RealCup™ due to the shared company values of innovation and quality. Like Numi®, RealCup™ brand is also an innovator in the beverage industry. Developed by Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee®, RealCup™ single-serve capsules feature a FlavorMax™ filter that is designed to allow more of the essential oils into the cup, ensuring a more flavorful experience.
Ahmed Rahim was eager to enter the single-serve business, but it was paramount that the taste he so carefully crafted was present in each cup brewed from a single-serve capsule. "I was impressed by the taste delivered by a RealCup™ capsule," said Rahim. "It was clear to me that the superior taste from the carefully chosen real ingredients used in Numi® Organic Tea's blends would be found in the teacup and not left behind in the capsule."
"We are excited to welcome Numi® Organic Teas to RealCup," said Joe Navin, General Manager Strategic Alliances for Mother Parkers. "Organic and premium quality teas are a yet undeveloped channel in single-serve and we are thrilled to be pioneers in this effort along with Numi®."
