Our Process, From Sourcing To Dispatch

We hold no finished blends. Your order is formulated and blended after it reaches us, which takes a little longer than shipping from stock — but it means the tea you receive matches the sample you approved.

1 · Source
We buy at auction, directly from established estates, and from small growers in the high-elevation gardens around Darjeeling.
2 · Taste
Nothing is bought without our master tea taster approving it first. He tastes around 1,500 cups a day during the season.
3 · Blend
Formulated and blended to your order at our facility in Siliguri.
4 · Pack
Loose leaf, pyramid bags, our packaging or yours. Same facility.
5 · Ship
Domestic dispatch, or export with all documentation prepared by us.
We do not own tea gardens.
This means we are never under pressure to sell you our own harvest. Each season we buy the best lots available, from wherever they come. A supplier who owns a garden can only sell you what that garden produced.

How We Compare With Other Suppliers

Criterion Udyan Tea Common in the trade
Blend development 200+ custom blends formulated in-house to client briefs, including matching a tea you already sell Selection limited to an existing catalogue
Ingredient range 60+ botanicals held for blending, so a profile can be tuned to a target taste and price A shorter ingredient list, which limits how far a blend can be adjusted
Who selects the tea Every lot approved by our co-founding master taster before we buy it — 17 years tasting, in a family six decades in tea In-house tasting experience is usually more limited
Where we buy At auction and direct from estates, on our own Tea Board buyer’s licence Through agents and intermediate traders
Where it is made One registered facility in Siliguri — formulation, blending, bagging and packing Blending and packing often sit with separate contractors
Export documentation COO, Phytosanitary, Tea Board approval and FDA prior notice prepared by us Arranged by the buyer, or through a separate export agent
Quality validation Bronze, Global Tea Championship 2019 (USA) No third-party award
Lead time 7—10 days to 4 weeks, because your order is blended after it reaches us Often faster, shipping from blends already made and stored

Who Selects Your Tea

Our co-founder Punit Poddar has been tasting tea for seventeen years, and his family has been in the tea trade for more than sixty.

He tastes around 1,500 cups a day through the season, and every lot is approved by him before we buy it. Tea selection is not a separate quality check at Udyan. It is the main work of the business.

Wholesale Tea: Common Questions

What is the minimum order for wholesale tea?

10 kg per blend for bulk whole leaf, 25 kg for bulk CTC, and 25 kg for a custom blend. Private label starts at 200 units per tea, per packaging type. Tea bags start at 5,000, which can be split across up to five variants.

Why are your lead times longer than other suppliers?

Because we hold no finished blends. We buy leaf, taste it and store it as leaf; your order is formulated and blended after it reaches us. That adds time against a supplier shipping from stock, and it is what makes the tea you receive match the sample you approved.

How do samples work?

Tell us which teas you would like to try and in which format. We put the set together to your selection and ship it to you. Custom blend samples go out within 2 weeks of your brief.

Do you supply CTC and masala chai tea in bulk?

Yes. CTC black tea and masala chai are part of the range, alongside orthodox Darjeeling and Assam, greens, tisanes, wellness blends and iced teas.

Can I use my own packaging for private label tea?

Yes. Send your own packaging and we will fill it. We also hold ziplock pouches, tin cans, paper cans and envelope packs in stock. We do not provide design services, but we will send dielines and specifications for your designer.

Who handles export documentation?

We do. Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary certificate, Tea Board approval and FDA prior notice are all prepared by us.

Will the blend be the same every time I order?

Yes. Once you approve a blend we hold the formulation and match it on every run. Leaf changes from season to season, so we adjust the proportions to hold the profile rather than repeat a fixed recipe against different tea.

Do I need to open an account or register?

No. Send the enquiry form and we will reply with pricing. There is no account to open and no registration — the order minimums are the only commitment.
