Tea is a daily-use product with vast, steady demand in India. A tea business can start small and scale into a brand. Here is how to begin.
Decide whether to trade loose tea, blend and pack branded tea, or run a tea stall or cafe. Trading and packing start cheaply; a branded blend needs packaging and marketing.
Buy from tea auctions, estates or reliable wholesalers, and check quality, grade and freshness. Consistent taste is what builds a tea brand, so vet suppliers and store stock to keep it fresh.
Tea is a food product, so you need FSSAI registration or a licence based on turnover, plus proper packaging with clear labels. Good packing protects freshness and helps the product sell.
Sell to shops, online, or direct to households, and build a recognisable brand with a consistent blend. Repeat buyers and word of mouth carry a tea business, so keep quality steady.
