Coffee and tea, the popular beverages that keep the world buzzing, represent billions of dollars of revenue for businesses worldwide each year. But whether your coffee is whole bean or ground, or your tea is loose leaf or in packets, a business needs the right packaging. IMPAK will help.
Coffee and tea packaging has special considerations, particularly regarding oxygen. If you care about the quality of the coffee or tea you sell, you need the right bags and sorbents to keep your product reliably fresh, aromatic, and flavorful. More importantly, the right sealer will make a huge difference in delivering the taste you want.
Arguably the most important factor in maintaining freshness when packaging coffee and tea is oxygen content. Anyone who deals in these beans and leaves knows that oxygen degrades taste and aroma, and can cause rancidity. Ideally your package should have an oxygen content of 3% or less, and the best way to do this is by incorporating a nitrogen (gas) flush when sealing your product in a container with a ultra-low OTR (oxygen transmission rate). Additionally, using a vacuum-seal and/or oxygen absorber packets will definitely ensure a practically oxygen-free environment.
