Project: A Tea Company Driving a Change Towards Healthier Consumption of Beverages
Summary:
Consumption of aerated drinks and beverages with preservatives packed in plastic and other materials increasing our carbon footprint is slowly creating a huge impact on humans as well as Mother Earth. Educating the masses about the health benefits of tea and converting consumption of soft drinks to handmade and zero preservative iced teas is our goal and we are working hard to change the mindset from consumption of high caffeine beverages to whole leaf teas. This helps to leave a long-lasting effect on health and prevent many critical diseases due to the consumption of tea leaves with a higher level of antioxidants.
Our project caters to many causes including human health, support to tea growers and workers, as well as saving the environment by reducing mass production of preservative based beverages in factories consuming energy and increasing pollution.

Project Motivation:
Post COVID-19, we want to work harder to realize our business goals quicker, as the increase of the carbon footprint on earth and consumption of unhealthy food and beverages seems to have reduced the immunity in humans, which makes it really difficult to fight such pandemics and survive. Capsule was recommended by the Founder of Capacity Zurich just at the right time when we started to think of making an impact better than we already do.
