RAW MATERIALS
Almost 90 percent of the tea leaves are Indian majorly from Nilgiris, Assam, Darjeeling and
rest 10 percent of tea leaves are imported from China and Sri Lanka. At the initial stage of
procurement of leaves, a sample is taken from each category and sent to Italy for quality
analysis.
Leaves are mainly categorized in to conventional and organic where conventional products
are grown using pesticides and organic is pesticide-free. It takes almost 15 days to 1 month
for procurement and testing to be done followed by generating quality reports before
procurement.
ORDERING QUANTITY
Almost 6 tons of leaves are procured from the producer after quality analysis with 3 tons per
batch. A relatively small quantity of leaves is procured batch-wise because it will be easy to
reject the batch if contaminated products are received. The above process is followed by the
testing phase where each type of leaves is tested.

as own brands.

INVENTORY:

Conventional products are kept in an ambient temperature of 25-35 degrees Celsius where
herbs are kept under 10 degrees Celsius to avoid moisture.

Production Process and machinery used--
Tea leaves are infused with herbs like Anice, Chamomile, etc for different products.
The costliest organic raw material used in organic vanilla beans that costs around 650
euros/kg. where a kg of Aloe vera costs around 70000 rupees. Some organic materials used

Some conventional herbs are tiglio, blackcurrant, hibiscus, aniseed, lavender, tulsi, etc. All the
flavors and blending materials are imported mostly from Egypt, Croatia, Mexico and some are
from India. Rosepetal and rooibos are supplied from South Africa and peppermint is imported
from the USA.
Flavors Testing is done for each batch after blending processes are done to check
contamination. Most of the flavors (both liquid as well as powder) are imported from
Australia and Germany.
Blending Process:
Tea blending is the blending of different teas together to produce a final product. This
occurs chiefly with black tea that is blended to make most tea bags but can also occur with
such teas as Pu-erh, where leaves are blended from different regions before being
compressed. The aim of blending is to create a well-balanced flavour using different origins
and characters.
Blenders are of two sizes i.e 300 kg and 100 kg.
Blending is done using both liquid and powder flavors by first loading leaves to conveyer
which leads to bucket containers followed by the final blending process.
