Greenfield tea is the name of one of the most common tea drinks that can be found on the shelves of our stores. Greenfield - tea, the assortment of which is very wide, the price is reasonable, and the taste is excellent. But few of the lovers of this tasty drink know who produces it, and how many years it has been pleasing its fans.
Tea maker
To the patriotic pride in our country, one can add the fact that this wonderful drink is produced by a Russian company called "Orimi Trade" from St. Petersburg. On August 10, 2003, this company registered Grienfild Tea Ltd. in London. After a short period of time, this product, produced as if by a British company, appeared on the shelves of our stores. The very name "Greenfield", tea, assortment - it seems, there is nothing to doubt that its manufacturer is a foreign company.
However, no. Tea is entirely Russian, although by law it is produced by an English company. Manufacturers are willing to do a lot to win the hearts of customers, and in this case it was a well-planned marketing move.
Why mislead buyers?
Indeed, wasn’t it easier not to get involved in such a complicated procedure as registering a foreign company, but to produce tea under your own name? Not really. The fact is that Russian consumers do not really trust those goods that are produced in our country, unfortunately. Even the name itself, not written in Cyrillic, is more attractive from all points of view. In addition, Orimi Trade decided to conquer the premium or above-average segment while continuing to maintain the English style in everything: Greenfield brand, tea, assortment, packaging, advertising, which is very restrained and concise. All in the best traditions of England. And we, Russian buyers, do not even suspect that we were the victims of the smart marketing move that Greenfield tea so successfully put on the Russian market.
Tea - assortment
This drink has a fairly extensive assortment that can satisfy the needs of even the most fastidious connoisseur of tea. In addition, the price range of this brand makes it accessible to all comers and will not scare anyone away, as is often the case with other elite varieties.
"Greenfield" - tea, the assortment of which will appeal to everyone and everyone, offers customers a collection of different teas. Among them there are green and black teas familiar and close to Russians, as well as herbal or fruit. In addition, there are also those collections that seem quite exotic. These are the white teas and teas from the Highland Oolong collection. Isn't the name very original?
As for the origin of the raw materials that are used to make this or that drink, everything is very individual here. Tea can be Chinese, and Indian, and Ceylon and even Kenyan.
Black tea
As you know, black tea is tea that has undergone complete fermentation for a fairly long time, which is why it acquires a rich color and taste, devoid of bitterness. This tea is the most popular both in Europe and in Russia.
One of the best black teas delivered to the Russian market is Greenfield tea; the assortment in bags and in bulk of this drink is very wide. For example, "Classical Breakfast" - Indian, with invigorating properties - the perfect choice for a morning drink. And "Golden Ceilon", a native of Sri Lanka, has a delicate aroma and unsurpassed taste.
For lovers of sophistication, Greenfield has prepared a drink with the aroma of bergamot Earl Gray Fantasy, which combines excellent Ceylon tea with zest of bergamot and citrus. Tea Greenfield Fine Darjeeling - Indian, harvested on highland plantations, has a light nutmeg flavor and floral aroma. Kenyan Sunrise - Kenyan, not quite familiar to our fellow citizens, but no less tasty and fragrant. And Chinese Noble Pu-erh tea has a tart sweetish flavor that pleasantly envelops from the inside. His compatriot Lapsang Souchong is a real "smoked" tea that is smoked over burning pine branches, which makes it an outstanding aroma.
Green tea
Green tea is a tea drink that has undergone minimal fermentation, which is why it has retained its rather pale color and pronounced bitter taste. Such tea is for everybody, but it is incredibly useful and is just a storehouse of vitamins and a doctor for many diseases.
The Greenfield collections of green teas are not as numerous as their predecessors, the collections of black tea drinks, and consist of only three items produced as Greenfield green tea. The assortment, although not so rich, however, there are not so many lovers of green tea.
Among them is the green tea of the Flying Dragon collection. It is collected on plantations in China, has a yellowish color and a very rich floral taste. The next collection is Jasmin Dream, again a Chinese, with an incomparable aroma of jasmine. And completes the collection of Japanese Sencha - a rather rare Japanese drink, but sustained in the spirit of all Japanese tea traditions.
Fruit and Herbal Tea
This collection is the most extensive, as well as the most beloved by customers. It is she who is best known for those who buy Greenfield tea. The assortment of bags (and this collection is only available in bags) is very diverse and attractive. Among the teas from the fruit collection, the following items can be distinguished: Camomile Meadow - chamomile, Mango Delight - the taste of mango, Festival Grapes - a mixture of apple, hibiscus and rosehip, Lemon Sparkl - lemon, Summer Bouquet - with the aroma of raspberries, rosehips and hibiscus. In addition to these types of tea, Christmas Mystery - with spices, Vanilla Wave, which also has spices and apricot aroma, and Easter Cheer, with the aroma of vanilla, lemon, mint and verbena , are very fond of buyers.
Greenfield fruit tea in the pyramids (its assortment is simply amazing) will be reached in the heart of any person who is not indifferent to this product!
Exotic Collections
Exoticism is always tempting and attractive, which is why the manufacturers of the Greenfield brand also did not pass by it. White tea is a tea that has undergone weak fermentation, which is why it is very pale at the output, almost white. Its aroma and taste are very subtle, so only a connoisseur of tea can recognize them. Greenfield Chinese white tea, the assortment (photo below) is small, because its taste is not for everybody.
The Highland Oolong, which has only half-fermented, has the same effect, which makes it atypical in taste and aroma. These drinks are non-standard, but many people, having tried them for the first time, become fans of this tea.
Conclusion
Despite the initial deception of the manufacturer related to the brand name, this drink is still one of the best on the Russian market both in quality and in pricing. Therefore, many loved this supposedly "overseas" Greenfield tea. Assortment, gift wrapping - just a lover's dream! Everything is beyond praise. Gift wrapping combines almost all Greenfield collections and contains as many as 120 bags of wonderful aromas! A wonderful gift for relatives and friends who will be very grateful to spend evenings with a cup of this wonderful drink.
Of the shortcomings of Greenfield tea, only the presence of artificial flavors in some fruit brands can be distinguished. Nevertheless, it is packed very beautifully and tastefully, which invariably improves the standard of living and gives a good mood. Drinking a mug of Greenfield tea, you involuntarily come across something fabulous and magical, and this, you see, is worth a lot!
