Tea infusion varieties

SUQA´s goal is to sell the best quality at a reasonable price. They are a family business, and proud to have a great relationship with the farmers and offer a high-level product to their customers.

The company's tea infusions are sold to food distributors in the export market. They have exported to the USA, Europe, Israel, Turkey, Japan, Ecuador, Panamá, and Costa Rica. The goal is to develop their presence around the world and, since they are Kosher certified, increase also sales to Israel.

SUQA owns warehouses in their two plants, where products are stored at ambient temperature on racks. They use plastic packs for the fruit teas, and later they go in bags with boxes of 25 units.
Depending on the volume, once the order is made it takes from 15 to 30 days for the product to be ready for shipment. The product can be sent from the Cartagena or Barranquilla ports (one day by truck from Bogotá) or by airfreight from the Bogotá Airport.

SUQA has a strict and complete monitoring of raw material from its arrival, with a track record of products by batches. There is a manual selection of the fruits that will be used, filtering strange materials, with visual control that is run on five independent processes, apart from sanitary registration and certification, and best production processes implemented. SUQA is Kosher certified.

While in 2019 SUQA sold 600,000 units of fruit tea, they have installed capacity to produce up to 1,2million units if needed. SUQA purchases fresh non-GMO fruit from different producers in Colombia used to produce the fruit tea in its Bogotá factory. Once the fresh fruits arrive at the plant, we let it ripen, to later clean it, disinfect it and peel it and cut it. All the process is done manually by their workers. Then, they put the fruit in ovens for 10 to 12 hours before grinding it and elaborating the fruit tea.

SUQA offers fruit tea with no additives, and that goes hand in hand with the healthy trends that are growing in the world. The product has a high nutritional value and is made out of fruits that have been delivered fresh and processed carefully by the workers. The flagship products are the “Basic” infusion, with seven fruits (strawberry, cape gooseberry, papaya, mango, pineapple, hibiscus, and blackberry), the “Yellow” infusion (pineapple, mango, lulo, cape gooseberry and orange) and the “Red” Infusion (strawberry, blackberry, papaya, and hibiscus). However, they can produce infusions upon request using these and other fruits.
Once produced, if properly stored, the fruit tea can last up to one year.
