From the garden

We buy from growers, not from a broker's warehouse

Most tea reaching a private label buyer has been through an auction and one or two brokers. That is efficient, and it means nobody in the chain can tell you which garden picked the leaf or how. We work with foothill growers in Uttarakhand directly and with Assam estates for CTC and black leaf, which lets us log garden and season against a blend and gives us a say in how the leaf is plucked.

It also means the people doing the plucking are people we know. Our collection and plucking teams are women-led, and a share of every order goes back into the communities that grow for us.

Packaging

The format decides the channel

The same blend in a pyramid, an envelope and a bulk sack is three different products for three different buyers. We pack all three from one facility, which means your recipe stays consistent even when the format changes.

Biodegradable pyramids

Plant-based pyramid mesh that composts in a food waste bin, with a custom printed tag and string. The premium retail format, and the one European buyers now ask for by name.

Envelopes

Individually wrapped teabags in printed foil or paper envelopes — the hospitality and sampling format, and the one that survives a hotel corridor.

Bulk & loose leaf

Whole-leaf and CTC in caddies, pouches, tins and bulk sacks for specialty retail, food service and repackers.

Teabag constructions

Biodegradable and nylon pyramid, side-fill and bottom-fill paper bags, with or without tag and string, single-chamber and double-chamber.

Custom tags and printing

Printed tags, printed envelopes, foil and paper sachets, and full-colour display and gift cartons in matte, gloss, soft-touch or kraft.

Bulk and food service

Whole leaf and CTC in 10 kg and 25 kg foil-lined, food-grade lined sacks.

Custom blending

Send a cup profile, not a shopping list

The most useful brief we receive is rarely a list of ingredients. It is a description of the cup — how it should taste, how strong, how it should look in a glass pot, what it must cost landed, and who is meant to drink it. From that we build a formula, sample it, adjust it and document it so batch fifty tastes like batch one.

  • Blend samples in 7–10 working days, usually two to three rounds to sign-off
  • Cup profile documented — infusion time, temperature, liquor colour, strength
  • Formula locked so repeat batches match the approved sample
  • Functional blends — sleep, detox, digestion, immunity — built to claim rules that hold in your market
  • Price-point engineering — we will tell you honestly what a target landed cost forces you to give up

Export markets

Tea is a food, and the rules follow it

Europe & the UK

Labelling under Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 including allergens and QUID, contaminant limits under Regulation (EU) 2023/915, pesticide MRLs, and — where the blend is certified — EU-equivalent organic status with a TRACES certificate of inspection.

Australia

Composition and labelling to the FSANZ Food Standards Code, with Australian Consumer Law country-of-origin requirements and the documentation your importer needs at the border.

New Zealand

FSANZ Food Standards Code alongside documentation for your MPI food importer registration, and Biosecurity Act paperwork where a botanical input requires it.

Frequently asked

Private label tea questions

Around 1,000 units per SKU for finished retail packs — a 20-bag carton counts as one unit — and 25 kg for bulk blended leaf. Custom printed pyramid tags and cartons carry their own print minimums, which we confirm at quotation rather than after you have committed.

Yes, and it is most of what we do. Send a recipe, a benchmark product or simply the cup profile and the price point you need to hit. We blend, sample, adjust and document the final formula so every subsequent batch matches the one you approved.

The pyramid mesh we use for the biodegradable line is plant-based and composts in a food waste stream. Nylon pyramids are also available and are not compostable — we tell you which you are buying, because "plastic-free" is a claim European retail buyers now audit rather than accept.

Tea Board registration, FSSAI, HACCP and ISO, with organic certification on defined lines. Certification scope differs by product line and facility, so we confirm the applicable certificate, its scope and its validity for your specific SKU at quotation — including, for EU organic shipments, the certificate of inspection.

Himalayan foothill gardens in Uttarakhand and the surrounding region, and Assam for CTC and black leaf. We work with growers directly rather than through a broker, which is what lets us log garden and season against a blend and gives us some control over how the leaf is picked.

Yes. Teas and herbal infusions are foods in all three, so composition and labelling follow Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 in Europe and the FSANZ Food Standards Code in Australia and New Zealand, with contaminant limits under Regulation (EU) 2023/915 for EU shipments. We supply the composition, contaminant, pesticide and allergen documentation your importer file needs.

Blend samples in 7–10 working days. Production is typically 3–5 weeks from artwork and blend approval, depending on print lead time for tags and cartons — printing, not blending, is usually the critical path. Indicative sea freight is 25–35 days to EU ports and 18–28 days to Australian and New Zealand ports.

Both. True teas come from Camellia sinensis; herbal infusions — chamomile, peppermint, rooibos, moringa, tulsi, hibiscus — do not, and in most markets they are labelled differently. We make and blend both, and we get the labelling distinction right, which matters more than it sounds.
