Bespoke blending
Your blend. Nobody else's.
Send us the tea you buy today, or the cup you want. We build it from our stock, match it to your cost, and make it fresh for every container.
Two ways to work with us
Match my current tea
You send a sample of the blend you buy now. We analyse it on the bench and build a match, or an improvement, from our stock. Best for packers switching supplier or securing a second source.
Build to my specification
You describe the cup: strength, colour, body, briskness, milk or no milk, bag or loose, target market. We propose two or three blends to choose from. Best for new private-label lines.
The process in detail
- 01
Brief
Your sample or specification, target cost per kg, annual and per-shipment volume, procurement schedule, delivery port or point.
- 02
Bench work
Our tasters cup your reference and build candidate blends from the 200+ tonnes of unblended stock we hold.
- 03
Samples to you
Matched samples dispatched to your country at our cost, each with its blend reference number.
- 04
Approval and sealed standard
You approve one sample. We seal a reference portion and keep it for the life of your account.
- 05
Fresh blending and QC
Your container is blended after approval, in under 3 days, and checked against the sealed standard before packing.
- 06
Packing and shipment
Vacuum liner inside sealed 38 kg sacks, full container load, shipped from Kandla with the agreed documents.
The five things that get you a quote.
- Your sample, or a clear specification
- Target cost (per kg, and the Incoterm you are pricing on)
- Volume: per shipment and per year
- Procurement schedule: when, and how often
- Delivery point: port of discharge or final destination
The hundredth container should taste like the first.
Tea is a crop. Gardens, seasons and weather change it every week. Consistency is not luck; it is the blender re-balancing the recipe against your sealed standard every time. That is why we blend fresh to order instead of holding finished stock: we can adjust the components so the cup stays where you approved it.
What “exclusive” means here.
The blend we build for you is not offered to any other client. We do not keep a catalogue of finished blends for resale. If you stop buying, your recipe is not repackaged for someone else.
If your target price can't buy the cup you want, we'll say so.
Every buyer wants Assam strength at Dooars prices. Sometimes the gap can be closed with smart blending. Sometimes it can't. You will get a straight answer, with options, before you commit to anything.
Send us your sample. We will match it, or tell you honestly that we can't.
Sample, target cost, volume, schedule, delivery point. We reply within two working days.
