Insights
Product insights to guide your sourcing.
Product Trends
Traditional bulk green teas like Chunmee and Gunpowder dominate export volumes. Meanwhile, specialized bases for milk teas, cold-brew bags, and high-grade matcha powder are seeing rapid growth due to modern retail trends.
Industrial Cluster Analysis
Zhejiang is the primary hub for bulk green tea export, offering large-scale standardized production. Fujian and Guangxi lead in oolong and jasmine teas, specializing in custom blending and premium private label services.
Quality Expectations
Western buyers must enforce compliance with EU/FDA pesticide residue limits (MRLs). For long-term transit, suppliers must strictly control moisture levels (typically under 7%) to preserve tea aroma and prevent mold.
What You Need to Know
Buyers should request pre-shipment samples for sensory evaluation (appearance, liquor color, aroma, and taste) and request third-party lab test reports (SGS/Eurofins) verifying pesticide residues and heavy metal compliance.
Bulk raw tea MOQ typically starts at 1 to 5 metric tons, while custom retail packaging may require 10,000 units. Production usually takes 20 to 40 days depending on blending and packaging, excluding shipping transit.
Buyers should budget for custom packaging plate-making fees, third-party lab testing and certification costs (e.g., phytosanitary certificates), customs clearance fees, and domestic as well as ocean freight charges.
