Production. Royal Blue Tea handles all development, manufacturing, and sales in-house, working under an SGS-HACCP certified facility. Its bottles are sealed with a Vino-Lok glass stopper manufactured by Alcoa Germany rather than cork, which allows repeated resealing and eliminates cork taint.
Ingredients Policy. Royal Blue Tea bottled teas are made only from single-garden, hand-picked Camellia sinensis and contain no additives.
Service
Temperature. Royal Blue Tea recommends serving its bottled teas straight, without ice, at approximately 17–18°C, noting that at room temperature the refined aroma becomes more pronounced.
Glassware. The producer recommends serving in a wine glass. Royal Blue Tea also sells a handmade, logo-engraved wine glass manufactured by Hungarian Table Top Kft. in Hungary, designed to enhance the visual presentation of the tea.
