Nilgiri orthodox black tea in bulk for US tea companies, iced tea and cold brew makers and private-label packers. Bright, brisk and fragrant, and known for staying clear in the glass. Minimum order 100 kg, samples first, quoted in USD.
Grown in the Nilgiri hills of southern India and made by the orthodox method, as whole and broken leaf.
Nilgiri tea is lighter and brighter than Assam, with a brisk, fragrant cup. It is known for staying clear when chilled, where many black teas turn cloudy, so iced tea and cold brew makers use it on its own or as the base of a blend. It also brings lift to breakfast blends and flavoured teas.
We have sourced and blended tea since 2011 and pack in our own FSSC 22000 facility, registered with the Tea Board of India and the US FDA. For milk tea and chai, the stronger choice is Assam black tea.
What we carry, and what sits with you or your customs broker.
Facilities that make food for export to the US register with the FDA. Ours is registered, and the details go to your customs broker on request.
Specifications, ingredient and allergen declarations, nutritional data and shelf life, plus a certificate of analysis per consignment, prepared before order confirmation.
The FDA requires advance notice of each food consignment arriving in the US. Your customs broker files it against the documents we issue.
The US importer of record runs a verification programme for its foreign suppliers (FSVP). We supply the certification and specification evidence it is built on.
Retail packs need a US Nutrition Facts panel, US allergen declarations and a US responsible-party address. On private label we develop the artwork with you.
Duty rates on goods from India have changed in 2025–26: check the current rate for your product code with your broker before you price. Duty and entry are for the importer's account.
This is a plain-language summary to help you scope a first shipment, not legal or regulatory advice, and requirements change. Confirm the current position with your customs broker. Compliance with US rules rests with the importer; our part is to supply the documentation that supports it.
The same terms we quote every international buyer. Full Export Terms & Conditions are issued with each quotation and order confirmation.
Every export runs against a written order confirmation, and the documentation travels with the consignment. The full process is on the export & international page.
