What to look for when sourcing bulk green tea

Product specification

A single-origin green tea and a blend base need different buying briefs. Start with the style and leaf appearance you intend to sell.

Variety & plucking

Specify the cultivar (e.g., assamica or sinensis), plucking standard (fine, medium, coarse) and the season of production.

Processing & grade

Agree on the processing method (steamed vs. pan-fired), leaf grade (e.g., whole leaf, broken, dust) and any sorting or cutting steps.

Lot or blend

Confirm whether you are buying a specific crop lot or a blend assembled to a target taste and appearance.

Quality acceptance

A single taste or a visual check alone is not enough to accept a bulk green tea. Agree how the sample will be evaluated and how it relates to the delivered lot.

Sensory & visual assessment
Define the tasting protocol, target liquor color, aroma and flavor, and acceptable leaf appearance (e.g., twist, color). Ask who performed any offered quality score.
Physical & moisture checks
Set moisture content limits, fiber or stalk levels, and the presence of any off-notes or taints in the dry leaf.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer, pre-shipment and arrival samples. Keep the approved sample as the reference and agree on inspection duties and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Go beyond the country name. A specific estate, a regional tea and a flexible blend component require different levels of traceability.

Traceability

Request the growing region, estate or garden name, harvest period and lot identification.

Crop & stock

Ask when the leaf was plucked and processed, where it is stored, and whether the tea is available now or for future shipment.

Acceptable alternatives

For repeat blends, define which origins and processing styles can be substituted without changing the tea’s character.

Commercial terms

Bulk green tea may be offered at a fixed price per kilogram or through an auction-linked mechanism. Compare the final cost on the same unit and delivery basis.

Pricing basis: Clarify whether the price is fixed, or linked to an auction or index, and state the currency, unit and validity period.
Delivery terms: Confirm whether the price is FOB at a named origin port, CIF at a destination port, or delivered to a named warehouse. Align freight, insurance and local charges.
Order terms: Match pack size and material (e.g., multiwall paper sacks or foil-lined cartons), shipment window, payment terms and minimum order quantity.

Documentation & compliance

Check documentation before committing to shipment. The paperwork needs to support the specific tea lot you are buying, not just the supplier’s general business.

Shipment documents: Align lot references, gross and net weights, and entity names across the invoice, packing list, transport document and any origin or plant-health certificates.
Certification: For organic or fair-trade tea, verify the current scope of the certificate and the transaction or chain-of-custody evidence required for the lot.
Destination rules: For EU-bound tea, confirm the deforestation due-diligence requirements applicable at import, including the farm geolocation and traceability data requested.

Supplier capability

A tea estate, a buying agent, a processor and a merchant may each control different parts of your purchase. Establish who is accountable for your specific lot.

Processing & packing
Identify who withers, rolls, dries, and grades the leaf, and who is responsible for a sample or shipment quality failure.
Repeat supply
Ask how the supplier maintains your tea’s flavor and appearance across seasons and which replacement lots it can offer.
Order fit
Confirm minimum shipment volumes, sample provision and export logistics. For smaller orders, inquire about consolidated shipments or destination stock.
