Wonderful diversity of tea

A cup of tea can calm down, heal or only just have a good taste. At Salus you may select from more than 200 varieties of tea. And all the same whether it is green, herbal or fruit tea, all of them have something in common: they are blended in Bruckmühl with the utmost care and commitment to nature.

From aniseed and cocoa husks to hawthorn

Hundreds of screw top jars filled with herbs, spices and fruits can be found in the Salus tea kitchen. Out of this diversity of dried plants originate the most different tea blends.

A good cup of tea for the senses

In the laboratory for organoleptic testing the employees pay great attention to the odour, colour and taste. There are always different variants of a new tea recipe. Now, the best one thereof has to be found.

This tea tastes yellow like the sun

Already at the first view on the packaging the consumer should have an idea of the taste. To achieve this, an appropriate name and design are necessary. As soon as the marketing has determined the texts for the folding boxes, the graphics department sees for the design.

Herbs need a lot of experience

How a plant grows influences the content of healing ingredients and the taste. Salus counts on organic cultivation, possesses own fields, cultivates rare wild plants and cooperates with long-term agricultural partners. This is the only way to maintain the invariably high quality.

Analysed down to the smallest ingredient

Before processing every delivery of plants is analysed in our own laboratory, e.g. for their content of active ingredients or for harmful substances as pesticides and heavy metals. The Salus products are distinguished for this extensive quality control.

Finest selected tea

During production every detail counts: the grinding degree has to be harmonised with the plant so that it will be able to optimally release its ingredients to the infusion. During the sorting process a sorting machine especially developed for Salus identifies in a split second which are the plant parts rich in effective ingredients as e.g. flowers, that go into the tea, and which parts are undesired as e.g. stems or foreign parts.

Bag, envelope, label

The packing machine works so quickly one is almost not able to recognize how the tea comes into the bags. But no matter if the packing is a filter bag or the tea is filled loosely into the packing: it is always the best Salus quality.

The basis for the diverse, well-balanced herbal tea blends of Salus are carefully selected high quality herbs, fruits and spices from organic cultivation. The herbal tea constituents are analysed in the Salus-own laboratory with extensive controls for possible residues of harmful or foreign substances and also for their value adding components.

Preservatives and colourings are not used for Salus tea blends. Our focus in tea production lies on a particularly gentle processing in order to maintain the important ingredients of the plants as far as possible. What is special here is that all healing plants used in the Salus food tea are of pharmaceutical quality. All Salus tea specialties are produced at the company site in Bruckmühl, Upper Bavaria.

Would you pour hot water on all the filter bags produced at Salus during one year, you could fill more than 97.000 bath tubs full of tea (13.620.000 litres).

In order to free our high quality raw materials as herbal tea and medicinal plants from possible pests, they are treated in a disinfestation machine in a gentle way with pressure and CO2. We completely renounce from insecticides or other toxic chemicals which would heavily strain men and environment. Instead of chemically synthesized CO2 we use natural carbon dioxide from volcanic origin. This way an additional strain of the atmosphere with the greenhouse gas CO2 can be avoided.

We are especially proud of our automatic sorting machines for herbs. They are unique in the world and have been created especially for the use at SALUS Haus. During the harvesting, drying, storing and transporting, all kinds of foreign parts as small stones, threads or rests of packings are mixed with the herbs. For a long time, those foreign parts could only be removed mechanically and the herbs had to be re-sorted by hand. Now, the automatic sorting machines allow a so far unachievable quality of the raw materials.

More than 200 different herbal tea blends are produced at Salus. The single raw materials are carefully blended according to the respective recipe, weighed and homogeneously mixed. In fully automatic packing lines, the tea blends are then filled into filter bags or loosely into block bottom bags.
