WHAT DOES 'NATURAL FLAVOURINGS' MEAN?
The term 'natural flavouring' is very commonly listed as an ingredient on food/drink packaging and is used to describe components, extracts, essences and oils that have only been derived from natural raw materials. They are labelled as 'natural flavourings' rather than 'flavourings' because they do not contain any chemicals.
Earl Grey tea is a great example of a tea that contains natural flavouring as bergamot oil is used to give it a lovely citrus undertone.
We use an amazing supplier who ensures that all natural flavourings are compliant with Food Standards Agency (FSA) criteria.
We can confirm that our natural flavourings do not contain any of the 14 major allergens and the ingredients used make up a very small trace amount of the overall blend (around 1%). All natural flavourings must go through rigorous safety measures and must be authorised by the FSA before they can be cleared for use in food in Great Britain.
If you're looking for teas which don't contain natural flavourings we have plenty of delicious options, just reach out to our communiTEA Experience TEAm via info@birdandblendtea.com and ask them for some flavour recommendations.
