bellevue tea — It's a great tasting tea bag…

The bellevue range of teas has been selected and designed to make sure you get a really great tasting, good quality cup of tea, every time.

• STAPLE & GLUE FREE BAG – After careful research, a tea bag has been chosen which is really well designed. Stitched, rather than stapled or glued, it is a great improvement on the standard round or square tea bag – all you can taste is the tea.
• DOUBLE CHAMBER – Recognising the importance of “room to brew”, bellevue tea bags have a double chamber, so that there is extra space for the tea to infuse, achieving the very best flavour every time.
• STRING & TAG – Every bellevuetea bag has a string and tag, making it really user-friendly in teapots and mugs.
• ENVELOPE – Each tea bag is individually wrapped, so you'll find that the last one tastes as fresh and delicious as the first.

bellevue tea and the environment…

To avoid adding unnecessarily to landfill, and to do the very best you can for the environment, please remember that bellevue tea bags and boxes have the following benefits…

• RECYCLABLE – used bellevue tea boxes, sachets and tags are fully recyclable.
• COMPOSTABLE – used bellevue tea bags will break down completely in your compost bin, unlike those which have been heat sealed, glued or stapled.
• Even the box, tags and envelopes, when crumpled and torn, will biodegrade in your compost.

"Having rummaged around in my compost bin recently I am pleased to report that my bellevue teabags continue to break down into very lovely looking compost. Maybe a garden tea party is brewing this summer? The allotment is certainly in for a treat".

TEA — It’s good for you...

Just like our daily fruit and vegetables, tea is totally natural – the leaves of the Camellia plant are picked, dried and packed. There is no need for preservatives – it is exactly what it says on the packet!

The UK is said to drink 165 million cups of tea a day, and this phenomenal figure is rising as people begin to understand the health benefits of their daily quota.

A delicious cup of tea is good
for the mind, body and soul

Recent research has shown that there are real benefits of drinking four cups a day – wonderful news for tea drinkers all over the world. This research has found that tea is a natural source of antioxidants, which are known to be particularly beneficial to heart health. Tea can also contribute towards your daily fluid intake – and we are always being reminded how important that is.

Each cup of tea...

• has powerful antioxidant properties protecting body cells against damage
• boosts your daily fluid requirement keeping you hydrated and alert
• helps to maintain a healthy heart by improving arterial function
• tops up your fluoride intake protecting teeth and gums for a great smile
• Relax and revive, make time for your favourite cup of tea, and enjoy something really delicious that’s actually good for you.
