Speaking of bottled teas - One of the best iced
teas I have found is Tejava. About $1.29 at
Trader Joes for a quart unsweetened no lemon.

Mike,

I believe that the biggest bottler of teas in Japan is Ito En, which has a
store in New York City where they feature loose teas, not the bottled thing.
Their bottled (plasticked?) tea is available around the city. I'm told that
in Japan it's a vending machine thing to a large extent. Why not contact
them and ask them? Who knows, they might give you lots of good information
about production. You never know until you ask.
