Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are you a licensed wholesaler?

Yes, Hapa Drink Company is a subsidiary of SNF Global LLC, proudly registered in New York State with a Certificate Of Authority to conduct business. We are also a Beverage Can Deposit Initiator, authorized to sell canned drinks and administer duties under the NYS Bottle Bill.

Does Pineapple Black Tea require cold storage?

No, we manufactured it to be shelf-stable.  We know that refrigerator space is a luxury for restaurants and retailers.  Safely store it in a cool, dry place with your other canned soft drinks -- chill and serve to your customers once ready.

How did you manufacture it to ensure shelf-stability?

We worked with a food scientist to take our fresh-made recipe and develop a scalable process certified by Cornell's Food Venture Center laboratory. We then found an awesome co-manufacturer in Good Trade Depot (Kalamazoo, MI) who produced and canned our Pineapple Black Tea to that specification. That includes a pasteurization step to ensure a shelf-stable product that can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place.

How long is Pineapple Black Tea good for?

Pineapple Black Tea is good for 6 months from the manufacture date. That expiration date is printed on the bottom of every can.

Where can I find Pineapple Black Tea?

We are stoked to partner with our very first storefront, who has been a huge supporter of ours from Day 1:

• NICK + SONS Bakery | 892 Lorimer St, Brooklyn, NY 11222
