Tea Research Association to develop Tea biscuits

And now munch your tea! Yes, do away with your cups and saucers for tea would henceforth be available in biscuits. The development is only a patent-right away. Once patented, the Tea Research Association would direct all its energy to develop biscuits laced with ingredients of tea.
And what is more, consumers would enjoy the luxury of choosing tea-biscuits off the racks according to their taste and requirement.

Wish to savour tea and biscuits minus the polyphenols? No problem, just buy a pack of tea biscuits suitably laced with your preferred aroma sans the polyphenols and enjoy your tea and biscuit in one munch.

You want it the other way round? “That can be arranged too,” claim TRA officials.

Using a high-pressure technology, the TRA has succeeded in segregating the components of tea. “Tea has plenty of bio-chemical components in small doses. But the main components are the polyphenols, which is incorrectly often referred to as tannin. The TRA has accomplished the art of segregating all these components after a thorough research,” said the TRA’s chief advisor, Nagrakata station Mr Pradip Ghosh.

According to him, the idea of tea-biscuits was presented at the TRA’s 34th conference at Toklai, Assam between 28 and 30 November. “Tea laced biscuits were tasted at the conference and passed muster. It has been decided that the experiment would be pursued on a commercial basis and the segregated tea ingredients released in the market in their aboriginal forms,” he informed.

The TRA, he added, would not manufacture the tea-laced biscuits but would retain the patent right of extracting the tea components.

It was learnt that some large size biscuit manufacturers have already got wind of the development and more than one are toying with the idea to become the first to introduce the new product in the market.

Slip between the ‘cup’ and the lip or the ‘pack’ and the lip? Decide for yourself.
