Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Organic Black Tea sourcing decisions with real market data
India (17.4%), Vietnam (15.2%) and Sri Lanka (7.2%) are the top supplier countries for 138 Organic Black Tea suppliers across 37 countries, with no single origin dominating the base. The typical range is USD 80 - 240 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 120 median, meaning buyers should expect wide variation in pricing based on quality and origin.

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?
Organic Black Tea saw 20 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 7 from the previous month. The catalog is growing quickly, so newer offers are appearing at a faster pace than before. Compare the listing date with older offers when evaluating similar products.
Is the market busy?
Only 2 of the 138 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so most are long-standing. The pool is dominated by sellers with a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The small number of new entries limits the variety of fresh sellers to consider. Review each supplier’s listing history before contacting them.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Organic Black Tea listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 28 October 2026 - 380 active listings, 43 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 Organic 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 Organic 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.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
