EaTea

Welcome to EaTea, a company which offers restaurants a unique and personalized tea selection service providing a diverse range of high-quality teas to perfectly complete and enhance their menu chart. Wine has long been the go-to beverage choice for restaurants, but we at EaTea believe that tea offers a perfect possible alternative. Moreover, tea not only amplifies the flavors of food, but also has numerous health and mental benefits. The ultimate aim of EaTea, is to introduce the western world to the idea of pairing tea with food and highlight the versatility of tea as a beverage. At EaTea, pride is taken in the tea selection process, which is sourced from the finest tea plantations in the world. Our teas are carefully chosen and blended to help provide a unique flavor experience, enhancing the dining experience for customers.

EaTea targets a customer group that desires a new type of non-alcoholic drinking, that pairs specifically with the flavor of their food. Our team is devoted to providing outstanding customer service and working closely with our restaurant partners to understand their unique requirements and preferences and to furthermore develop our product.

In the future, our organization strives to become the most sophisticated and customized tea selection service offered in the food and beverage industry. Moreover, our company aims to promote ethical and sustainable trading practices and ensure that producers, particularly in developing countries, receive fair prices for their goods while also promoting (new) sustainable cultivation methods.

EaTea will put emphasis on producing its products ecologically responsible and fair trade based. The latter will be done by selecting suppliers of ingredients who produce both ecologically friendly (producing and harvesting biological) and pay its staff a fair wage. EaTea will focus on the following UN sustainable development goals (SDG): SDG- 1, No poverty, SDG- 3, Good health and well being and  SDG-5, Life on Land. 

Product description

EaTea is a company which produces and develops high quality tea which is brewed with distinct design to go well alongside diverse food types. Tea has a very delicate taste, similar to wine without it having to contain alcohol. The pairing of tea with food is in fact already a well-known concept in many Arabic and Asian cultures, however this concept is still relatively unknown in the western world.

These teas are sold B2B to fine dining establishments throughout the Netherlands via a sales contract. The types of teas which are sold to these restaurants are developed with the help of the contracted restaurants to help furthermore improve the blend to go well with the cuisine of that establishment. If a tea goes well along with the kitchen and style of that restaurant, it is possible to arrange exclusivity of that tea blend to be exported solely to that establishment.
