Instant tea was made mainly for convenience that is, for people on the go! The only advantage of an instant tea is just that...convenience. The same way that coffee lovers would not drink instant coffee, a true tea connoisseur would not even touch an instant tea.

This is because the pleasure of drinking tea starts from the preparation, brewing the tea, smelling the aroma of a fresh brewed tea, the use of a seasoned teapot and the actual sipping of the tea from a teacup.

But just how an instant tea made? First, the tea leaves are infused to extract all the components that go to make a cup of tea. The liquid are then further treated to obtain a solid, dry product by either evaporation, freezing, or filtering.

Evaporation is done with the application of heat, freeze concentration is done by partly freezing the infusion and then separating the ice particles, and filtering by allowing the water to pass through and trap the solid.

The solids are then dried and packed into moisture-resistant packaging.
