TEA RANGE - Division of Baku Enterprises, Ltd.

Bassir formed Baku Ent. Ltd., developed many formulas toĀ blend his tea products from all natural flavours obtained from a German firm and dried berriesĀ from Nova Scotia.Ā  His products include the finest black and green tea leaves from a TeaĀ Plantation in Sri Lanka that has an excellent programme of sustainability for its community andĀ especially for the plantation workers.Ā  This particular plantation was the first to respond to theĀ Global Compact initiated by the United Nations during then Secretary-General, Kofi Annan andĀ committed to the principles of human rights, labour, environment and corruption.Ā  He takes hisĀ formulas to this plantation where he personally selects the tea leaves and works with the growersĀ to produce a treat for tea lovers.Ā  ā€œI know the right people who deal with high quality teas ā€¦ teasĀ that are not easy to come by,ā€ said Bassir.Ā  He compares his growing and purchasing methods
similar to the Fair Trade system, whereby tea growers are paid a fair price for their product.

Ā All of Bassirā€™s blending formulas are taste tested by himself in Sri Lanka before being preparedĀ and packaged for sale.Ā  Baku Enterprises, Ltd. also provide Private Labeling services and specialĀ ordering of bulk teas.

Some of the new blends being worked on include blueberry, strawberry and cranberry blendsĀ that are all rich in anti-oxidants.Ā  Tea Rangeā€™s black tea bags of Masala Chai can be opened toĀ reveal the actual spices used in the blending.Ā  Bassir likes to point out the benefits of drinkingĀ green tea some of which he says include reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke,Ā anti-aging, weight loss, arthritis, lowering cholesterol and preventing obesity, and helping toĀ prevent high blood pressure. Bassir quotes Clair Williamson of the British Nutrition FoundationĀ who says ā€œIn terms of fluid intake, we recommend 1.5-2 litres per day and that can include tea.Ā 

"Tea is not dehydrating.Ā  It is a healthy drink.ā€

Bassirā€™s Tea Range products are all price competitive, giving consumers an economical way toĀ start their day and get a head start on healthy living.
