Indian tea is one of the most universally loved beverages, and importing it directly from India offers strong margins and authenticity that buyers value.
Understand the varieties first: Assam CTC for milk tea, Darjeeling for premium, masala chai blends for ethnic markets, and instant chai pre-mixes for HoReCa and convenience-led retail.
Choose packaging based on your channel — 250g and 500g cartons for supermarkets, tea-bag cartons of 25 / 50 / 100 for HoReCa, and 1 kg packs for the diaspora household.
Confirm certifications — FSSAI, ISO, and where required, organic / fair-trade. Match your destination's labelling rules early to avoid customs delays.
