In the Russian Empire, tea was one of the primary colonial goods. Usually, tea was delivered to factories in sealed boxes at the border, where it was distributed into branded paper packaging, metal, faience, porcelain, or glass teapots, and then sealed with a government seal, which served as a mark of product quality.
