01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

As the name depicts, Zobo Tea is basically tea made from zobo/hisbiscus leaves. Through technology, hibiscus flower and other ingredients; cloves, grains of selim, ginger, cinnamon, and pineapple will be processed under the right conditions, and placed in desirable quantities into teabags, available for easy preparation and consumption. The tea can be made by placing these teabags into either boiling or very hot water to get the desired concentration. Any sweetener at all and in preferred quantities can be added to the tea to suit the taste of the individual, which can then be allowed to cool down, refrigerated and served chilled. Also, because the product will be made to suit individual needs and preferences, it will be made in varieties to either exclude or include such ingredients like ginger which is seen as a hot spice for some.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

As individuals in this modern age, we are inexplicably overwhelmed with busy and stressful schedules, leaving little to no room for such activities that improve our personal wellbeing. With Nouvelle AgriHub's Zobo Tea, the stress involved in the preparation of our locally known Sobolo; the peeling, grinding, sieving, what have you, will be totally eliminated. People can go about their busy schedules, and would not have to worry about any additional stress just to prepare their favorite and relaxation drink. Also, it is undoubtedly founded that, some of these drinks we buy outside are not prepared in the most hygienic conditions. Our Zobo Tea will however, go through various standards set by the Food and Drugs Authority to further ensure that, our products are indeed safe for consumption. In addition, with either boiling or hot water being the main prerequisite, the easy made tea can be prepared under your supervision in your home. Thus, the worry of poor hygiene is eliminated.
