Another service that sets us apart from other contract manufacturers is tea bagging. Even the teas are handled under the same GMP guidelines that are used for drug products. After release from the quality control laboratory, the blended tea is fed from overhead containers into the tea bagging machines. These machines are set up to achieve results as specified on the "batch production record". The lead operators check the tea bag weights every fifteen minutes to ensure that they are within the specifications. The tea bags can be foil pouched or poly pouched then placed into a box. At the completion of each lot, samples are taken, the "batch production record" is reviewed, and both are delivered to the quality control laboratory for further testing.
