World Tea Expo® May 30 – June 16, 2008 – Aiya America Launches Private Labeling
At the 2008 World Tea Expo®, Aiya America announced it would begin private labeling. The Private Labeling Program includes a number of its highest quality grade teas, specifically chosen for the American market. This venture will be a first for the 120-year-old Japanese company, headquartered in Nishio, Japan, which has been growing and manufacturing tea for more than a century. Negotiations with the first companies interested in partnering with Aiya are currently underway.
Aiya America’s Director of Marketing, Jon Baumgardner, commented, “This is an exciting new venture for the company that will help us to further expand. After years of having companies ask us to enter the private labeling business, we now feel we have the international logistics and operations as well as the marketing and customer service to meet the increasing demand, worldwide. We at Aiya believe that our Private Labeling Program will enable our products to become even more available to consumers and, with our ongoing production capacity being number one in the market, it makes sense to move in this direction.”

Gold Sponsor at World Tea Expo® known for Matcha and loose-leaf tea
One of the largest tea companies in the world, Aiya – a two-year participant in and Gold Sponsor of the World Tea Expo® in Las Vegas – has long been known for excellent quality loose-leaf tea and its specialty, Matcha green tea. Aiya packages internationally certified organic teas in an ISO 9001, Superior ranked AIB, Kosher certified facility. Even the most established specialty tea traders do not have access to quality organic Japanese tea because less than 0.2% of all green tea produced in Japan meets international organic standards, and yet…
All Aiya certified organic teas clear all international organic standards. Thus, Aiya’s organic certified tea can be sold to any major market in the world including Europe, the United States and Japan. Aside from traditional loose-leaf tea sales, the company’s biggest clients, so far, have been food and beverage manufacturers capitalizing on the growing popularity of green tea as an ingredient in products such as lattes, chocolates and ice cream.

Herbal teas can be made with strong or dry flowers, leafages, seeds or roots, broadly speaking by pouring simmering H2O through the plant life pieces and having them steep for a few minutes. Seeds and stems can also be boiled on a range. The tisane is then filtered, sweetened if so desired, and served. Many companies grow herbal tea bags for such infusions, like ours Check Us Out.
