    For sale a VINTAGE & RARE GREEK CYPRUS ΚΕΑΝ SODA CORK BOTTLE CAP 1960s. KEAN factory is a Cyprus factory which operates till today.
    The Beginning: The late
    Takis
    Christodoulou
    , a pioneering young chemist with a specialized knowledge in fruit processing, founded
    KEA
    , the ‘Cyprus Soft Drinks Company’, in 1949, with the aim of extracting juices, essential oils and other natural ingredients from fresh citrus fruit. They would then be used for drinks, perfumes and cosmetics. The basic materials that were used were the indigenous aromatic herbs of the Cypriot countryside and the ripe varieties of Cypriot citrus fruit.To avoid confusion with another company with a similar name, in 1951 the company soon changed its name to KEAN SOFT DRINKS LTD.
    Christodoulou
    perfected the juice extraction process by constant studying and understanding how the fruit should be handled during the growth, the crop and the juice extraction stages, avoiding over or under tipping, bruising, heating and also setting the rules for preserving naturally and storing the juice when concentrated. This is how he created the high standards and the ‘secret’ of KEAN soft drinks. The great fruity taste of the final product is based on the authentic taste and quality of the juice with all its natural characteristic of texture, aroma,
    colour
    , vitamins and minerals.
    First Products: The specialized knowledge in the processing of citrus fruit soon gave the impetus for manufacturing a variety of orange, lemon and mandarin juice-based drinks, with a high juice content, on a large scale. The natural quality of the original fruit, the particularities of each taste and the fine processing of such sensitive fruit gave the best guarantee for the taste of the final product.
    The first drinks to be produced were the squashes (orange, lemon, almond and sour cherry) with a high sugar content, which acted as a self-preserve ingredient. Soon the products were in great demand and the pressure for  increasing production was strong.

    Attention International Buyers
    :
    Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional cost will be before bidding/buying.
    Personal Statement:
    I have been collecting various items for the last 35 years but it seems like I have to let go some of my collections as space is very limited to display them all! I have spent considerable time and money to find these little treasures, therefore it is a great opportunity for any one to get them at a fraction of the amount I have paid. This also allows me to focus on specific collections, especially concentrated on local items that have to do with the culture and heredity of my country.
    I always try to ship the next working day, whenever this is possible. I try to charge shipping based on the actual shipping cost, plus a small fee for packing, packaging and delivery to the Post Office. If you have any doubt regarding your shipping charges please contact me before or even after you have received your item. Needless to say that in some cases it costs me more compared to the advertised shipping price, as I try to have one fixed charge for an international shipment. Items are well packed and you will verify that upon receipt of your item.
    *** IMPORTANT:  PLEASE NOTE THAT EBAY CHARGES 10% ON THE "FINAL VALUE FEE ON SHIPPING" & PAYPAL CHARGES ANOTHER 5% ON THE PAYMENT TRANSFER WHICH INCLUDES SHIPPING FEES AS WELL! A TOTAL OF 15% IS PAID BY THE SELLER AS A FEE ON SHIPPING COST! IN OTHER WORDS 15% OF THE AMOUNT WHICH BUYERS PAY FOR SHIPPING, GOES TO EBAY & PAYPAL AS A FEE!!***
    Please note: By bidding or buying my items you have read, understood and approved my terms and conditions.
