Ingredients

The information above is based on product labelling, traditional use and general user feedback and is provided for educational purposes only. Tapee Tea is sold as a herbal tea / food product and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

Thai FDA Certification and US FDA Clarification

Thai FDA Status

• Tapee Tea is produced and registered in Thailand as a herbal tea / food product with the Thai Food and Drug Administration (Thai FDA).

• Each registered product carries a Thai FDA registration number on its packaging that can be used for traceability and verification under Thai regulations.

• Production is carried out by licensed manufacturers in Thailand who are required to comply with local safety, labelling, and quality standards for herbal tea products.

• As part of this framework, products are subject to controls designed to reduce the risk of contamination and undeclared substances.

What Thai FDA Registration Means for You

• It indicates that the product has been notified or registered in Thailand in accordance with the applicable category of herbal tea / food product.

• It supports assurance that the blend contains the herbs listed on the label and is manufactured within the Thai regulatory system.

• It does not mean that any medical or therapeutic claims have been evaluated or approved.

US FDA and Other International Regulators

• In the United States and many other countries, herbal teas and most dietary supplements are regulated as foods or food‑adjacent products, not as medicines.

• The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not “pre‑approve” herbal teas or dietary supplements before they are sold; instead, manufacturers and distributors are responsible for ensuring that products are safe and properly labelled.

• Regulators such as the US FDA can take enforcement action if a product is found to be unsafe, misbranded, or making prohibited medical claims.

Our Role as a Retailer

• ArtisanThai sources Tapee Tea directly from Thai manufacturers that hold Thai FDA registrations for their products.

• We do not alter or repackage the tea; it is supplied in its original labelled packaging so that customers can see the manufacturer’s details and Thai FDA registration information where provided.

• We are committed to transparency about origin and regulatory status and to avoiding unapproved medical or drug‑like claims about Tapee Tea.

Important: Thai FDA registration relates to compliance with Thai regulations for herbal tea / food products and does not mean that Tapee Tea has been approved as a medicine or as a treatment by the Thai FDA, US FDA, or any other regulator. Tapee Tea is sold as a herbal tea / food product only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. For questions about how this product may relate to your health, please consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Understanding the Different Spellings: Tapee, Tepee, or Thephi Tea

All of these names refer to the same traditional Thai herbal tea blend. The different English spellings (Tapee Tea, Tepee Tea, Thephi Tea, and similar variants) arise from how Thai words are written phonetically using the Latin alphabet.

From Thai Script to English

• The product name originates in Thai and is written in Thai script.

• When Thai words are written in English letters, there is no single standard spelling; different people may choose different phonetic approximations.

• As a result, several English spellings can all refer to the same Thai name and the same underlying herbal formula.

Common English Variants
You may see the tea described as:

• Tapee Tea – the most commonly used spelling in many international contexts

• Tepee Tea – an alternative phonetic spelling

• Thephi Tea – another way of representing the same Thai pronunciation

• Other minor variations, such as “Ta‑Pee,” may also appear

Why So Many Spellings?

• Thai sounds do not always have a perfect one‑to‑one match in English.

• Different regions, brands, and importers choose slightly different spellings based on how they hear and transcribe the Thai name.

• Online, using more than one spelling can also help people find the product regardless of which version they type into a search engine.

What Really Matters When Choosing a Product
Rather than focusing on the exact English spelling, it is more important to check that:

• The product is a 15‑herb traditional Thai herbal blend, as described on the ingredient list.

• The packaging shows a Thai FDA registration or notification number, where applicable.

• It is produced by licensed manufacturers in Thailand.

• The label clearly lists the herbs and includes manufacturer details and origin.

At ArtisanThai
We generally use the spelling “Tapee Tea” because it is widely recognised in English. However, we understand that many customers search using “Tepee Tea,” “Thephi Tea,” or similar variants. Whichever spelling you use in your search, the product we offer is the same authentic Thai herbal tea blend sourced from licensed Thai producers.

Tapee Tea Orders to the USA – Tariffs Included

For orders shipped to the United States, we include applicable US import duties and customs‑related charges in our pricing, so you are not asked to pay additional tariffs at delivery. This approach is similar to “delivered duty paid” (DDP) shipping, where the seller takes care of duties and customs clearance so the buyer receives the parcel without extra border fees.

How Pricing Works for US Orders

• Tariffs included in pricing: Our product prices for US customers are set to cover applicable US import duties and related customs costs that we can reasonably calculate in advance.

• No additional customs bills from us: You should not normally be asked to pay extra import duties to receive your parcel, as these are handled on our side under our chosen shipping arrangements.

• Transparent total at checkout: The amount shown at checkout reflects the product price plus any shipping charge; duties we prepay are already factored into the product pricing for US shipments.

Context: Changes to US De Minimis Rules

As of 29 August 2025, the United States ended the general duty‑free de minimis exemption for most low‑value imports (previously up to 800 USD). This means:

• Most shipments to the US, regardless of value, are now subject to customs entry and applicable tariffs.

• Carriers and brokers must file customs entries and collect duties unless these are prepaid by the seller under arrangements like DDP.

Our pricing and logistics for US orders have been adjusted to reflect this change so that, as a customer, you see a stable, “landed” price.

What This Means for You

• Order with confidence: The price you see at checkout (plus any clearly shown shipping cost) is the amount you are expected to pay to receive your Tapee Tea order.

• Fewer delivery surprises: Because duties are prepaid through our arrangements, your parcel should not be held at the border awaiting additional payment from you in normal circumstances.

• Standard customs processes handled: We work with carriers and logistics partners to submit required customs information and duty payments on your behalf for US deliveries.

Comparison with Other Sellers

Some overseas sellers ship to the US without prepaying duties. In those cases:

• Parcels may be delayed in customs until duties are assessed and collected from the recipient.

• You may receive separate bills or be asked to pay additional charges before delivery.

• The final “landed” cost can end up higher than the initial advertised price.

Our intention is to avoid those issues by incorporating expected duties into our pricing for US orders and handling customs formalities on our side.

Important Notes

• While we aim to cover all normal US import duties and related customs charges in our pricing, exceptionally unusual assessments or destination‑specific fees beyond our control could, in rare cases, still arise.

• US state or local sales taxes (if any apply to your transaction through payment platforms or marketplaces) are separate from customs duties and may be collected in line with applicable US tax rules.

We are committed to clear, upfront pricing and a smooth delivery experience for US customers ordering authentic Tapee Tea from abroad.
