Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Masala Tea sourcing decisions with real market data
India (80%) dominates the 5 Masala Tea suppliers, with the Netherlands at 20%, so sourcing options are heavily concentrated in one country. The typical range is USD 2,303 - 4,760 per metric ton FOB, centered around a USD 3,500 median. Buyers request FOB more often than suppliers offer it - a 10.5 percentage point gap - so a FOB price must be explicitly asked for.

2origins
Freshdi Masala Tea suppliers come from 2 countries, led by India at 80.0%, as of 1 November 2026.
Only 5 suppliers are currently listing Masala Tea, and none have updated their listings in the last 30 or 90 days. This means the supply is static, and buyers should treat each supplier as a one-time opportunity rather than a long-term option—every conversation carries more weight and urgency. There are just 5 listings available, which is a very limited selection. A buyer looking for a specific blend, packaging, or origin may not find a match, making direct outreach essential to confirm availability or negotiate terms. India supplies 80.0% of the listings, with the other country making up the remainder. For buyers, India is the clear default source, but the small presence of the second country offers a minor alternative if Indian supply is constrained by seasonality or logistics.
