Safety Testing

Our Commitment

For over 30 years, The Republic of Tea has crafted premium teas in our signature unbleached round tea bags, free of unnecessary strings, tags, or staples. We source the highest-quality teas from the world’s premier tea gardens — from the Wuyi Mountains of China to the highlands of Sri Lanka. Each batch is carefully inspected and tested at origin, and upon arrival at our facility is evaluated to meet our rigorous quality assurance standards.

Sipware Standards

Every piece of The Republic of Tea Sipware is tested by internationally accredited labs and complies with all U.S. and California (Prop 65) safety standards, including limits on lead and cadmium. We ensure that each item is not only functional and attractive, but safe for everyday use.
