Newby Jasmine Blossom Caddy

Last week the results of the “Great Taste Awards 2010” were announced and we are delighted say that Newby Teas gained 13 Awards.

The Great Taste Awards is completely independent and the judging by industry experts is uncompromisingly  rigorous. Stars are given to products for their excellence and are generally thought of as the food and drink equivalent of the “Oscars”.

A coveted 3 Star Award was given to Newbys superb Imperial Jasmine (caddy).

2 Star Winners are Jasmine Blossom (teabags), Jasmine Monkey (windows carton), and Green Sanguinello (catering pouch). Other Star Award Winners include: Fujian Oolong (window caddy), White Peony (window carton), English Breakfast (caddy), Kaziranga (caddy), Gir (caddy), Hakunda (caddy), Kailash (caddy), Indian Breakfast (carton) and Rosehip and Hibiscus (teabags) which is very popular in our Service en Chambre Hotel bedroom beverage package.
