Numi Organic Tea wins 1st place in North American Tea Championship!

In recognition of its outstanding evaluation and delicious taste, World Tea Media has presented the First Place North American Tea Champion Award to Numi Organic Tea for its Earl Grey Pu∙erh Tea in the Ready-to-Drink Flavored Black Tea category.

To choose the recipient of this award, the judging panel – consisting of professional cuppers, leading retail buyers of tea and restaurateurs – assessed each submission through blind organoleptic analysis of the following characteristics: flavor, mouthfeel, color, clarity and balance. The ratings of each characteristic were then used to calculate an overall numerical value on a 100-point scale, and winners were determined by rank. The Championship is the only independent competition, judged by professional cuppers, to distinguish the highest quality and best tasting teas that are commercially available in the North American marketplace.

“Introducing Organic Pu∙erh Tea into a ready-to-drink bottle is very exciting for us at Numi,” said Co-Founder and CEO, Ahmed Rahim, “not only for its incredible health benefits, but for combining it with our popular Earl Grey, making it a one-of-a-kind delicious drink. This blend combines the bold depth of Pu∙erh with the essence of bergamot fruit; a combination that is a refreshing classical flavor with an original Numi twist.”
Independent ORAC tests have shown that Numi’s Organic Pu∙erh Iced Teas have three times the antioxidants and 40% less sugar than leading green and black iced teas. Numi Organic Tea is the first to market with an entire line of organic Pu∙erh in teabags, compressed brick and ready-to-drink iced teas.

Numi Organic Pu∙erh Iced Tea’s are available for an SRP of $1.99 and come in six flavors: Earl Grey, Jasmine, Peach, Mango, Mint and Classic Pu∙erh. They are sold at Whole Foods Markets Northeast and Whole Foods Market South, Fairway Markets in New York City, Lunds & Bylerly’s, Ahold, Central Market, Cost Plus World Markets nationwide, as well as online at www.numitea.com.
