RTD Tea Drinks Product Development Services
RTD Tea Product Development Services are aimed at developing ready-to-drink tea drinks that maintain uniform flavour, clarity, and shelf life, as well as satisfy the commercial manufacturing standards. The extraction, sweetness and oxidation of tea are balanced in this development process to produce high-quality output in the brands using ready-to-drink beverages, RTD tea formulation, and functional beverage brands in related functional drinks.

Our Process
The product development services of Iced tea drinks are highly sensitive, and organised formulation processes in which brewed tea should maintain its natural nature and have the ability to be shelf stable.
01. Research and Conceptualisation
Developing the product RTD tea drinks would start by establishing the desired market positioning, which would be mass refresher, wellness-oriented, or high-end brewing tea. It is the phase that identifies flavour orientation, sweetness, and compliance with rtd food regulatory systems.
02. Define Your Beverage Idea
Finalisation of tea base, strength of brew and serving profile is done to provide uniformity and acceptance by the consumer in the batches.
03. Identify the Lapses in the Market
The rising need for convenient and healthier versions of carbonated beverages has led to increased prospects in the product development of the RTD tea drinks service, especially in the low-sugar and functional versions.
04. Regulatory Knowledge
Adherence to food safety regulations, ingredient approvals and labelling regulations is an early consideration, particularly when the products are found in the ready-to-drink tea development pipelines.
05.RTD Tea Drinks Product Development
This phase involves optimisation of brewing, clarity of the tea, pH and stability of the flavour. The choice of the processing techniques is such that bitterness and oxidation are minimised during the production process.
06. Tasting, Flavour and Developing Texture
The sweeteners, acids and natural flavours are regulated to provide refreshment without losing the authenticity of tea- this is a very critical factor in developing the iced tea drink products.
07.Shelf-Life, Stabilisers and Additives
The shelf-life test measures the stability of the colour, the expression of the flavour and the safety against microbes to see how the iced tea will perform in the course of the predetermined duration of storage.
08. Packaging Design
The packaging formats are evaluated in terms of light protection and flavour retention, compatibility with the use of PET, glass, or can systems in the case of the production of ready-to-drink teas.
09. Creating Brands and Labels
Label messages, ingredient statements, and nutritional analyses are prepared based on regulatory and market demands.
10. Prototype Evaluation
The pilot samples are subjected to sensorial assessment, stability, and processing verification and then subjected to scale-up.
11.Manufacturing Setup
Manufacturing preparedness is determined using production guidelines that are appropriate to industrial RTD plants, such as guidance of ready to drink tea production plant project planning.
12. Production Launch
When quality parameters, formulation and processing are proven, commercial production commences.
13.Market Entry & Support
After-sales service will involve optimisation, expansion of variants and cost-effectiveness to boost long-term development in the RTD tea segment.
