MISSISSAUGUA, ON, Aug. 29, 2014 /CNW/ - Traditional Medicinals® herbal supplement wellness teas have chosen to partner with the RealCup™ brand for their launch into the fast-growing single-serve capsule format.  Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee, the company that owns and manufactures the RealCup™ brand, announced that it will produce two popular varieties of Traditional Medicinals® teas in their patented RealCup™ capsule.

"We chose to launch our products in the RealCup™ brand of capsules because their unique FlavorMax filter delivers the high quality brewing required to help ensure our teas deliver their intended effect," explained Blair Kellison, Chief Executive Officer of Traditional Medicinals®.

"The non-woven filter in the RealCup™ brand of capsules is different than anything that the competition offers," said Bill VandenBygaart, Vice President, Business Development, Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee. "It allows more of the active constituents into the cup, ensuring authentic taste and, in the case of Traditional Medicinals, efficacy and functionality of their wellness herbal supplement tea blends."
