MOQs depend on product format, packaging type, and whether the program is bulk, private label, or organic. Indicative starting points: bulk tea around 500 kg, tea bag programs around 50,000 units, private label programs lower depending on packaging complexity. We review final MOQs against your market and growth plan.
First orders typically take 6–10 weeks including sampling, approvals, and packaging setup. Repeat orders move faster — standard production runs 4–6 weeks once specifications are locked. Shipping time varies by destination and Incoterm. We confirm specific timelines at quotation stage based on your project complexity.
We start by understanding your taste profile, target market, and functional goals. Our blenders then prepare initial lab samples for your sensory evaluation. Once the flavour profile is approved, we produce factory-run samples in your exact final packaging — for formal sign-off before full production. Lab samples typically arrive within 2–3 weeks.
