How does the value proposition of specialty tea companies align with the pyramid format?
The pyramid bag is the best delivery mechanism for superior leaf quality that needs expansion space.
The financial model and value proposition of specialty tea companies differ fundamentally from mass-market players. Specialty purveyors prioritize the quality and integrity of the tea leaf first. They view the pyramid bag not merely as convenience packaging, but as the optimal delivery system for that high-quality leaf. Because superior, large-cut leaves require space to unfurl fully for maximum flavor extraction—something the pyramid shape facilitates better than flat bags—the specialty segment is willing and able to support the higher manufacturing cost associated with that superior packaging mechanism, making it acceptable to their discerning consumer base.
