Fort Worth, TX, U.S. – NATC, the only independent and professionally judged tea competition in North America, evaluated submissions blind and rated them based on brewed color, brewed aroma, brewed flavor, brewed mouth-feel and brewed harmony.
“We are thrilled with the recognition,” says Gerard Bastiaanse, Vice President of Marketing. “Providing our customers an industry leading tea portfolio is a key focus for Farmer Brothers.”
Farmer Brothers took home honors in the packaged single service tea competition for:
• Farmer Brothers English Tradition (1st Place – Black Tea Blends category)
• Farmer Brothers Pomegranate (2nd Place – Herbal Tea Blended/Flavored category)
• Farmer Brothers Tropical Sunrise (3rd Place – Black Tea Flavored category)
“Restaurants are seeing increased consumer interest in quality iced and hot teas through all day parts,” commented Gerard. “Our strong placement in both the NATC Iced Tea and Hot Tea competitions over the past year demonstrates our Company’s leadership and expertise in these categories.”
