Today, their commitment to ethics and naturalness remains intact. Clipper products are free from artificial ingredients, and since 2018, tea bags are plastic-free, non-GMO, and unbleached, reducing their ecological footprint. Since 1994, Clipper has been a pioneer in fair trade, supporting over 114,000 producers and their families worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does tea come from?
Tea has its origins in China, according to legend. It is said that Emperor Shennong discovered tea around 2737 BC when he accidentally dropped fresh tea leaves into his cup of hot water. Although the accuracy of this anecdote is debated, it remains a beautiful story. Currently, China and Japan are the leading tea-producing and exporting countries, although its cultivation has expanded to other Asian countries like India and Sri Lanka due to its growing popularity.
What are the different varieties of teas?
All tea varieties come from the same plant, the tea bush (Camellia Sinensis). Their diversity lies in the degree of oxidation of the leaves and buds during processing. Green tea is not oxidized, white tea undergoes slight oxidation, while black tea undergoes full oxidation.
How to prepare the perfect cup of tea?
To enjoy the perfect cup of tea, start by pouring freshly boiled water (not water that has been sitting in your kettle) over your tea bag. Let it steep for 1 to 3 minutes for green and white tea, 2 to 4 minutes for black tea, and 3 to 5 minutes for infusions. It's as simple as that!
Why are Clipper tea bags protected by an envelope?
Clipper tea bags are wrapped to preserve their freshness and retain all their unique flavors. This envelope protects the tea ingredients from external factors like light and moisture. Additionally, it allows you to easily carry your favorite tea with you wherever you go, whether in your handbag or pocket, so you can enjoy it anytime, anywhere."
