The Tea Industry largely consists of three sections

- Producers
- Brokers and Auctioneers
- Buyers

How we add value to Producers

* Advise on Manufacturing - raising the quality bar is the end objective

* Rationalizing the grade profile of tea to achieve best overall price realization.

* Advise producers on Market fundamentals - Crop, consumption, Exports, Buyer quality needs, price trends and extending scenario planning options to enable sellers take the right business decisions.

* Tea valuation- done by qualified tasters based on quality and the supply - demand equation. This enables the seller to determine his position on the quality price grid.

* Market the tea, through the auction and private channels thus acquiring for them the best and reliable portfolio of buyers.

How we add value to buyers

* Source from producers, tea required for blends, packeting or mere trading.

* Valuation of teas being offered for sale thus giving him a guideline for economic sourcing.

* Data mining – being the repository of the Industry , we share relevant data with buyers, thus facilitating management decision making.
