In Australia, to package & sell tea leaf and/or leaf blends you need to be a licensed food premises registered with your local council and/or state food authority.

According to my state laws (Virginia): "Businesses may advertise cottage law food products on the internet, but online sale of the food products is not allowed. In order to qualify for a permit to sell online or at craft shows, business owners must have a commercial grade kitchen that can be inspected by the state." I'm pretty sure most cottage food laws are similar and prohibit online sales.

[@MarketingFoodOnline]

hello no there is actually several states that now have new laws allowing the sell online and shipping over state lines of food products tea as a made bottled or prepared drink are not allowed under cottage food laws

[@jenniferscheffel6020]

Selling tea isn’t the problem; preparing it in an approved kitchen is a problem. Cottage food laws do not allow retail sales anyway but in person at the home or at a farmer market. I want to be sure we aren’t spreading misinformation. Please provide a list of states that allow you to sell dried tea online that is prepared in the home.

Thank you

[@calligraphybyfarhan9760]

I have alot of experience in a tea blending

[@meagangraham6153]

Is it possible to sell your own tea from your own herb garden? Or would it be best/safer to just by the tea leaf bulk? (Sorry if that’s a dumb question) Thanks for the help and knowledge!

[@MarketingFoodOnline]

no not a dumb question I actually have this question often yes you can some states under cottage food laws allow this at home as a matter of fact, and you cant make tea in a bottle but sell the tea itself.

[@Musicholder123]

When it comes to location and storage, and all you have is the home you live, is that good enough for the FDA ? Specially if, for example, my goal is to buy bulk from Mountain Rose, make certain dried leaves mixture and sell them, how much and/or type of space would I need? Nonetheless, thank you so much for your video!

[@MarketingFoodOnline]

FDA does not regulated Cottage Food Laws which are what each states sets forth. FDA has not regulatory authority per cottage food laws

Can you help with the paper trail for tea? What paper work is needed for the leaves and other ingredients for tracking batches?

[@MarketingFoodOnline]

once you find a supplier ask for their source or region where these teas come from and there will be the paper trail you need ! thanks

Question: Do you know if you can do powdered instant teas mixed from home and then sold?

[@MarketingFoodOnline]

ready to drink beverages from home are normally not allowed ...but if your interested in making the powders you potentially could.

[@xuezhongyu5853]

I don't know what should be printed on the packaging, can you explain it? ?

[@brucebradsher9882]

Are there tea co-packers in the lists you sell online? If so does it matter which one I purchase?

[@healing_life_arts]

Hi what about hot tea. Like in a tea lounge but not bottling

[@MarketingFoodOnline]

yes but not from home beverage making is almost always not allowed from home in any state

[@MaKo_452]

As a EU company, who will sell powder supplement on Amazon, with FBA model. Do we need registered facility (we actually wont handle the product, it will be sent to warehouse and then delivered to final costumer). Hope you can answer my question. Thanks :)

[@sahoryayon6557]

If I am just having a supplier from tea bags, what's the process there?

[@johnkarle5442]

Is it possible to start a commercial kitchen in your own home if you want to sell bottled tea from home?

[@cohencox]

[@LenitaMerryman]

Can I sell loose leaf tea using my cottage license at a vendor business?
