This site is independently operated by someone with a financial interest in a sparkling tea business. That investment may influence which brands appear here, how we describe them, and which we omit. We disclose this upfront because we think a reader has the right to know who is curating the list.
Editorial decisions are made by the site operator. We do not currently accept payment from any brand featured on this guide, and we do not run affiliate links that compensate us on click-throughs. “Where to buy” links go directly to brand sites or major retailers; they are provided as a convenience to readers.
We strive for accuracy on prices, formats, tea bases, and provenance. Prices are indicative US retail and can move with importers, vintages, and seasons. If you spot an error — or you run one of these brands and want to flag something — please reach out through any of the listed brand websites and they’ll know how to get a message to us.
We do not name the specific brand the operator is invested in, because we do not want the disclosure to become an advertisement. Treat the whole list as potentially influenced and read accordingly.
The best way to read a guide like this: as one informed perspective among many. The bottles are real. The opinions are ours.
