The typical range is USD 2,303 - 4,760 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 3,200 median, meaning buyers should expect wide variation in pricing based on origin and quality. Buyers request FOB more often than suppliers offer it — a 14.2 percentage point gap — so buyers must explicitly ask for FOB terms when sourcing.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Black Tea Bags had 9 new listings in the last 30 days, fewer than the 11 the month before. When comparing similar offers, the listing date helps identify which one is closer to current market conditions. Check the listing date when evaluating two offers that look alike.
Is the market busy?
No suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all sellers have been on the platform for a long time. The pool is made up entirely of established names with consistent listing history, which makes it easier to assess each seller’s reliability. The lack of new entrants means buyers are limited to sellers they already know. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Black Tea Bags listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 17 October 2026 - 221 active listings, 27 buyer requests, 188 source documents, and 751 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Black Tea Bags type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Black Tea Bags, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
