10 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE
OUR HERBAL TEAS!

1) MOUNTAIN PRODUCT
in alpine valleys around Mount Viso Valverbe grows, dries and packages directly its own herbal teas.

2) PRODUCTION PROCESS
Valverbe follows the whole process from seed to final product, ensuring a constant control on all production stages, including the most delicate ones such as picking at the right time (when plants have the highest possible content of substances) and drying.

3) ORGANIC PRODUCTS WITHOUT GMOs
Certification and control of products throughout all stages. All blends for Valverbe herbal teas are without GMOs.

4) “OPEN CELL” DRYING PROCESS
Herbs are dried with an advanced system for “open cell” desiccation. This process doesn’t disintegrate the cell membrane and preserves all properties of plants thus allowing, through re-hydration, the recovery of the turgidity of fresh plants that facilitates the exchange between solvent and solute, benefiting the quality of the infusion.

5) BACTERIAL CONTROL
Bacteria are eliminated from our blends through an innovative technique developed by our consultants. A controlled rush of sanitized air (3 particles of O3 per litre) is blown in the blend a few minutes before packaging. Tests demonstrate that results are extremely positive and ensure the elimination of bacteria, yeasts and moulds, without exposing the product to gamma radiations or saturated steam, which “cooks” herbs heavily damaging their active ingredients, essential oils and vitamins.

6) STAPLES
Our tea bags have no staples.

7) ORGANIC COTTON THREAD
An act of care towards consumers, a philosophy of life, but also a coherent answer to the fact that cotton plantations undergo massive pesticide treatments. Noxiousness increases during starching, for which notoriously highly toxic heavy mineral oils are used.

8) GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY
Valverbe guarantees good prices thanks to the direct control of the production process.

9) ENERGY SOURCES
Valverbe built a 27 kWp photovoltaic system, so that the energy we need for drying and packaging doesn’t contribute to increase pollution: organic and eco-friendly herbal teas!

10) DOSAGE
Our tea pouches contain the quantity of herbs that a good herbal practice indicates for a 100 ml infusion, obviously using the “good” parts of plants. Since tea bags have developed above all as an easy and convenient solution for the disposal of middlings (stocks, wastage, small cuts, etc.), normally to counterbalance low quality they use a higher dosage with the addition of flavourings and synthetic colourings. Moreover, the use of improper parts of plants (for example stems) can cause significant alterations in aroma and flavour (more tannins). Valverbe is completely outside this logic because, since we produce directly our own herbal teas, we grow herbs exclusively for this purpose. That’s why Valverbe chamomile tea has a percentage of essential oil exceeding 5% and it’s the only one on sale totally Italian and of definite provenance (South-Western Piedmont).
