Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

The site footer and privacy policy name the operator as Nu-Tea Company at a head office in Mission, British Columbia, and the About and Certifications pages describe it as woman-owned and led; madeinca.ca corroborates it as Canadian-owned. Corporations Canada returned zero results for Nu-Tea, Nu-Tea Company and Tega Organic Tea, which points to a provincial (BC) registration that could not be checked because the BC Registry was not reachable this session, so this rests on the vendor's statements. No acquisition, parent or investor was found in Wikidata, Wikipedia or SEC EDGAR full-text search.

Manufacturing

The About page says the teas are handcrafted in Canada, product pages say each blend is small-batch blended and carefully packed in Canada, and many products are titled Product of Canada. The Certifications and Sustainability pages say blending and packing is done by a co-packing partner described as the world's first carbon neutral tea company with a solar-powered facility, which the vendor never names, so the facility's location rests on the vendor's Canada claim and could not be independently confirmed. madeinca.ca lists the manufacturing location as Mission, British Columbia.

The only location the vendor discloses is the Nu-Tea Company head office in Mission, British Columbia, with a 604 phone number, and no careers page or other office was found. Production is outsourced to a co-packer, so the vendor's own staff is a small single-site team in Canada.

Inputs

CA 15% · other 85%

Tea, rooibos, matcha and most botanicals cannot be grown in Canada; the vendor says it sources from Fairtrade-certified communities abroad and cites its South African heritage for the rooibos line, but names no origin countries, so the bulk of inputs is placed in OTHER. The small Canadian share is an estimate covering the Canadian co-packing service, paper-based canisters and cartons printed with vegetable inks, and a few Canadian-themed botanicals such as blueberry; the origin of the manila hemp tea bags is not disclosed. The store runs on Shopify, but direct sales are not the only channel.
