INNOVATING TEA BLENDS WITH FUNCTIONAL & NATURAL SWEETENERS
Innovating Tea Blends with Functional & Natural Sweeteners
The tea industry is evolving, with consumers seeking functional, flavour-rich, and naturally sweetened solid teas. At LAC, we introduce a next-generation approach by integrating Black Garlic-Infused Honey, Molasses, and Syrups into solid tea formulations—including innovative blends such as “Black Garlic-Black Tea” and “Black Lemon-Green Tea”. This infusion brings a unique balance of natural sweetness, umami depth, and enhanced nutrition, setting a new standard for premium tea blends.
Through the Maillard Reaction, we transform raw ingredients into deeply flavoured, nutrient-dense solutions that enhance herbal teas, compressed tea bricks, matcha blends, and granulated instant teas. Whether in luxury wellness infusions or functional beverage formulations, our sweeteners deliver a clean-label, health-conscious alternative to refined sugar.
A NEW APPROACH TO SWEETENING SOLID TEAS
Traditional sweeteners often overpower delicate tea profiles, but Black Garlic-Infused Honey, Molasses, and Syrups offer a balanced alternative that enhances rather than masks flavours. By combining natural sweetness with deep umami complexity, these ingredients create a smooth, well-rounded taste perfect for herbal infusions, compressed tea bricks, granulated teas, and matcha blends, all while maintaining a clean-label formulation.
