Provenance & Sourcing
Production. Royal Blue Tea handles development, manufacturing, and sales in-house, producing its bottled teas by non-heat extraction, non-heat filtration, and aseptic filling, with most of the work done by hand in a clean room. The company states its bottled teas contain no additives. Royal Blue Tea bottles are sealed with a Vino-Lok glass stopper made by Alcoa Germany rather than cork, which allows repeated resealing and eliminates cork taint.
