Have you ever wondered how a RTD tea product is produced? Follow this article to explore the production process of making RTD tea at FGC.
Introduction
RTD tea, or ready-to-drink tea, is increasingly popular because of the exhausting tempo of everyday life. Furthermore, as health problems receive greater attention, RTD tea is preferred by many people when compared to soft drinks. Proud to be the largest tea and beverage supplier and exporter in Vietnam, FGC is confident to introduce you to our RTD tea manufacturing process.
What is the production process of making RTD tea at FGC?
Generally, the production process of making RTD tea includes 6 main periods.
Harvesting tea leaves
FGC currently owns more than 4,500 hectares of tea farms across Vietnam, providing a sufficient source of fresh tea leaves for production. At the time when the tea trees are at their best, tea leaves and buds are picked gently by hand to avoid being broken or crushed. We also have factories located near the tea farms. Therefore, after being harvested, tea leaves are moved directly and immediately to our manufacturing plants.
Extraction
After being moved to our factories, every tea batch is checked, sorted, and filtered to guarantee the quality. After that, tea will experience an extraction process in which the soluble substances, the essence of the tea, are separated. The extraction process is performed at high temperature using standard water sources.
Filtering
After getting the needed substances, the mixture is filtered to remove all the impurities. At this step, the centrifugal filtration system is applied to completely clear away all the tiny impurities that cannot be seen with the naked eyes. Because ready-to-drink tea is the kind of product used immediately after opening, the texture and purity of the liquor are crucial.
Mixing
FGC provides various types of ready to drink tea with different flavors and tastes. To create the distinctive flavors for each type, the key is the mixing process, which can be considered the most complicated one in the production. Before being mass produced, the formulas are researched and developed carefully by our R&D department. In addition to tea leaves, water, cane sugar, corn syrup, acidity regulators, and many other ingredients are blended together, creating a homogeneous texture.
Filling and capping
In the filling process, depending on product types, we will apply Aseptic or hot-fill technology. With hot-fill technology, the liquor is heated to 90-95°C before being poured into PET bottles or cans to sterilize the products and the containers. After being filled and capped, containers are inverted and held for 2-3 minutes to ensure that the surface inside is sealed and evenly exposed to the temperature. Then the liquor is cooled down for the next steps.
In terms of Aseptic technology, the filling process takes place under controlled sterile conditions. All the containers and lids must also be sterilized before filling. The products, after being pasteurized, are poured into containers at room temperature.
Packaging and storing
Until these steps, the products are basically finished. After filling and capping period, they are continued to be completed with packaging, printing production date, shrink wrapping, and carton packing steps. The cartons are then moved to our storages and ready to be shipped to customers.
