Taprobane Tea Company has launched a rose petal-based tea into the Australian market.

Ceylon black tea, sourced from Sri Lanka, is combined with actual rose petals, resulting in an aromatic product.

Taprobane also has a green tea with the flavour of pomegranate, which balances out the bitterness of the green tea, according to the company.

Taprobane teas are ethically sourced and manufactured, with the company supporting wildlife conservation in Sri Lanka.

Tea leaves are grown and hand-picked in the high elevation tea gardens of Sri Lanka, and processed on site within a couple of hours of being picked.

Every part of the product, including packaging, is 100 per cent recyclable.

RRP is $7.00 per 20-bag pack.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
