Togetherness – Pakistani style
Tea drinking is a social occasion in the context of Pakistani culture, traditionally enjoyed with family and friends. It is the universal panacea which relaxes and refreshes at the same time.
The success of Brooke Bond Supreme is based on this very insight, since tea is a part of the social fabric of Pakistanis. Brooke Bond Supreme was launched in Pakistan in 1984.
Outstanding blend quality
The brand was extremely successful from its very inception due to its outstanding blend quality. Since then Brooke Bond Supreme has never looked back and today, is the largest selling tea brand in Pakistan. On average, 30 million cups of Supreme are consumed daily by people from all walks of life.
Did you know?
What is tea & where it grows?
All tea originates from the same Camellia sinensis bush, which is a small white flowered evergreen bush. The top two leaves and bud from this bush make the best quality tea. Tea is cultivated in over 30 countries of the world, including China, India, Kenya and Indonesia.
How is tea manufactured?
The process of converting young fresh leaves into tea was developed in ancient times by the Chinese and remains largely unchanged today. All tea comes from the same tea bush, but differences in oxidation produce the three main kinds: Black, green and Oolong. The manufacturing process includes the stages of withering (leaving tea leaves to dry), rolling/cutting (through which complex series of chemical changes known as oxidation are initiated, drying and then grading into sizes.
Does larger tea leaf size indicate better quality?
The leaf size does not indicate quality. Quality comes from aroma, colour infusion and taste of the tea leaves, not the size.
What is the difference between caffeine content of tea & coffee?
There is approximately half the amount of caffeine in a cup of tea as there is in a cup of coffee. On dry weight basis, tea leaves and coffee beans have the same caffeine content, however, it takes far less tea than coffee to make a cup. Hence there is more caffeine in a cup of coffee.
Is there a different effect from caffeine in tea & coffee?
The effects in caffeine in tea and coffee feel different, with tea producing a much gentler form of stimulation and coffee producing an over stimulation or “wired” feeling. This is partly due to the fact that tea contains other ingredients, which are thought to “take the edge off” of the caffeine, producing a gentler effect. One of these ingredients is theanine, found almost uniquely in tea, which has been found to produce a relaxed but alert mental state in human studies.
