You foresee [launching a new teas and infusions product range](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/why-should-a-food-supplement-brand-launch-its-own-teas-and-infusion-s-product-range)? The objective of this article is to present 4 misconceptions which may jeopardise your design project:

 

1. #### [**Raw plant materials come by definition from traceable and transparent supply chains**](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/4-preconceived-ideas-about-teas-and-infusions-which-will-slow-down-the-launching-of-your-brand#rawplantmaterials)
2. #### [**Teas and infusions raw materials reflect the major part of my final price**](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/4-preconceived-ideas-about-teas-and-infusions-which-will-slow-down-the-launching-of-your-brand#teasandinfusions)
3. #### [**It's just the aromas that guarantee flavourful infusions **](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/4-preconceived-ideas-about-teas-and-infusions-which-will-slow-down-the-launching-of-your-brand#aromas)
4. #### [**Paper tea bags are a sign of bad quality**](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/4-preconceived-ideas-about-teas-and-infusions-which-will-slow-down-the-launching-of-your-brand#paperteabags)

 

 

## **Raw plant materials come by definition from traceable and transparent supply chains**

 

**FALSE: **Very few companies which supply plants for teas and infusions guarantee a [100% transparent supply chain](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/supply-chain-marketing-how-does-natural-origins-accompany-professionals). Most parties involved mix batches coming from different regions and sell a product without a clearly defined and traced origin, thus cutting you off from all [the supply chain marketing](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/5-valuing-your-marketing-supply-chain-examples).

 

Guaranteeing traceability of a plant raw material is far from easy. It requires being really involved and lots of time! A transparent procurement supply chain is built over many years. It requires strong commitment and trusting relations with the producer.

 

![Natural Origins offers you insight into its sources as we are committed to supply chain marketing](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images%20blog/misconception%201%20raw%20plant%20materials%20come%20by%20definition%20from%20traceable%20and%20transparent%20supply%20chains.jpg?width=835&name=misconception%201%20raw%20plant%20materials%20come%20by%20definition%20from%20traceable%20and%20transparent%20supply%20chains.jpg)

 

 

## **Teas and infusions raw materials reflect the major part of my final price**

 

**FALSE:** Contrary to preconceived ideas, a quality plant represents just 40 to 50% of the box price. To manage the price of your infusion without affecting the quality, it’s possible to focus on other parameters including the choice of paper, cardboard, ink, the number of tea bags per box, the weight…

 

![a plant moreover a quality one will represent 40 to 50% of the tea box price](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images%20blog/misconception%202%20teas%20and%20infusions%20raw%20materials%20reflect%20the%20major%20part%20of%20my%20final%20price.jpg?width=835&name=misconception%202%20teas%20and%20infusions%20raw%20materials%20reflect%20the%20major%20part%20of%20my%20final%20price.jpg)

 

 

 

## **It's just the aromas that guarantee flavourful infusions**

 

**FALSE: **A good quality plant, that’s to say recently harvested, well conserved, cut at the last moment is absolutely flavourful. As an example, we’ll cite the freshness of peppermint harvested during the year, the power of locally harvested thyme, the beauty of handpicked and carefully dried cornflowers…

 

**The consumer doesn’t expect a flavoured product but rather a product with taste!** If the plant is of high quality and is well selected, it will respond perfectly to this need and will enable you to obtain infusions and teas with [a unique and powerful organoleptic impact](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/natural-origins-references-for-your-teas-and-infusions-product-range-with-health-claims).

 

It’s important to remind that flavours must not be used to compensate the lack of quality plants but rather to add a touch of creativity to your mixtures.

 

![a plant of high quality and well selected has a unique and powerful organoleptic impact](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images%20blog/misconception%203%20just%20the%20aromas%20guarantee%20flavourful%20infusions.jpg?width=835&name=misconception%203%20just%20the%20aromas%20guarantee%20flavourful%20infusions.jpg)

 

 

## **Paper tea bags are a sign of bad quality**

 

**FALSE**: You must not assimilate the container with the content!

 

This bias was created by major consumer brands who used paper tea bags extensively and offered low quality and highly flavoured plants. The paper tea bag is just the presentation and the content is up to you! You’re free to go against this judgement and to put forward 100% recyclable, biodegradable, free of all plastics microparticles packaging along with ingredients derived from [quality sourcing](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/the-tea-and-infusions-market-the-importance-of-sourcing)… When used well, the paper tea bag responds to an approach focused on an increasingly reasoned environmental impact.

 

![premium plant sourcing in a recyclable and even biodegradable paper tea bag with a labeled cardboard box will reassure and delight your consumers](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images%20blog/misconception%204%20paper%20tea%20bags%20are%20a%20sign%20of%20bad%20quality.jpg?width=835&name=misconception%204%20paper%20tea%20bags%20are%20a%20sign%20of%20bad%20quality.jpg)
