Wholesale from origin

Wholesale Chinese tea, direct from the farms

Private label under your own mark, consolidated orders from 100 kg, and a sample programme to start — for importers, tea shops, brands, and HoReCa. We buy at origin, from the people who grow the leaf, and pass both the quality and the provenance on to your business.

Chinese tea only. Export documents and shipping are handled by a licensed Chinese export partner; payment by T/T against proforma invoice.

How it works

From enquiry to shipment, without surprises

  1. Enquiry

    Send the form below or write to mail@teamotea.com. We reply within one business day with the catalogue and current prices for your market.

  2. Samples

    A set of 8–12 teas, 25–50 g each: $59–99 plus courier at cost, credited in full against your first order. Free for confirmed large-volume enquiries. Two to four weeks to your door.

  3. Invoice

    Proforma invoice from our licensed Chinese export partner. Payment by T/T bank transfer — 50/50 for a first order, 30/70 on repeats. No card checkout and no credit terms at this stage.

  4. Shipment

    EXW, FOB, or CIF from Chinese ports with the full document pack. Sea to Europe 28–40 days, rail 16–25, air 5–10. Import clearance stays on the buyer’s side.

Incoterms, honestly

EXW / FOB / CIF through a licensed Chinese export partner; DAP for Russia and the EAEU via white-channel carriers only. DDP to the EU or US is not offered — it requires an importer of record, and we will not pretend otherwise.

Payment, honestly

Invoice and T/T bank transfer against proforma — the standard of export trade. Samples payable online. No card checkout, no NET-30/60, no consignment.

Certificates, honestly

Every shipment carries the full export pack: GACC phytosanitary certificate, health certificate, certificate of origin, CoA, ISPM-15 pallets. We hold no organic certification — instead we arrange multi-residue lab testing of your specific lot, quoted per lot, report delivered before balance payment.

Lead times, honestly

Tea is light and bulky, so freight is quoted by volumetric weight. Shipping from origin is slower than an EU warehouse — what you gain is harvest freshness and a traceable lot, not a claim on a label.
