Tea beverages are an international growth market, whether as iced tea made from black-tea extract with peach or lemon flavoring, as an innovative premium tea drink with an authentic, regional tea flavor, or innovative near-water drinks with tea extracts. Equally interesting are coffee drinks such as iced coffee, with or without milk, with innovative flavors such as latte macchiato or espresso.

At the WILD Research Center in Berlin, the typical flavor and characteristics of the end product, such as a particular color or clarity of the tea beverage, are considered very important as early as the flavor-system extract refinement stage. WILD's comprehensive tea and coffee portfolio includes high-quality, highly concentrated and easily soluble extracts in liquid or solid form.

It is particularly important to adhere precisely to the mixing sequence of the individual components when producing tea drinks to prevent cloudiness. If the sequence is not done in the correct order, the components might react with other ingredients in the final product, depending on the concentration. The use of de-mineralized or soft water with all the polyvalent ions removed keeps the final product crystal-clear and free of precipitants.
