25 Apr 2014 --- By applying spray dried flavors to tea leaves and coating them using proprietary technology, Sensient Flavors Beverage Europe has developed a highly sophisticated way of flavoring teas. Double-coating protects the flavor, maintains the sensory profile over a very long period of time and extends shelf life. The flavored and coated tea leaves can be customized in particle size and are highly dispersible during the production and blending processes.
