Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Flavoured Black Tea sourcing decisions with real market data
Vietnam (22.6%), India (21.4%), and Sri Lanka (11.9%) lead the 84 Flavoured Black Tea suppliers across 25 countries, with the top three sharing a majority of the supply base. The typical range is USD 80 - 240 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 120 median, meaning buyers should expect wide variation and evaluate grade or origin carefully. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 24.2 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

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?
Flavoured Black Tea gained 12 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 4 listings seen the month before. That means the current list includes a mix of recent and established offers, and the timing of the listing can affect the price or availability. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to see which is closer to today’s market.
Is the market busy?
No suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is made up entirely of long-standing sellers. Every supplier has a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The absence of new entrants means buyers are limited to sellers already present on the platform with established records. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out to confirm consistency.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Flavoured Black Tea listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 28 October 2026 - 192 active listings, 28 buyer requests, 184 source documents, and 720 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 Flavoured Black Tea 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 Flavoured Black Tea, 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.
