How buyers in this market buy
Importers buy whole calyces or tea-bag cut, by the tonne, after lab testing a sample. Many lots are cleaned, cut and sterilised in Europe, so a consistent raw material and clean drying matter more than retail packaging.
Typical requirements
- EU pesticide residue limits, which German buyers test systematically.
- Microbiological safety (for example Salmonella) and EU maximum levels for contaminants such as pyrrolizidine alkaloids in herbal infusions.
- Organic certification under EU rules for the organic tea segment.
Rules change: confirm current requirements with the importer and the official authorities before shipping.
What to prepare before contacting buyers
- A specification: whole or cut, colour, moisture, foreign matter.
- Recent pesticide and microbiology results from an accredited lab.
- A 200 to 500 g sample and your annual volume.

Herb and spice importers, herbal and fruit tea blenders, and organic ingredient wholesalers.
Why do lots get rejected?
Most often pesticide residues above EU limits, microbiological contamination or foreign matter. Test before you ship.
Whole calyces or cut?
Both sell. Whole calyces suit importers who process in Europe; tea-bag cut suits blenders who buy ready to use.
