Episode Details

Tea markets closed ISO Week 15 with conditions still stable—but with a subtle shift in what is driving that stability.

Across the major auction centers—Colombo, North India, Mombasa, and Indonesia—buyer activity remained steady, but highly selective. Demand continues to focus on teas needed for immediate blending and export commitments, with well-made teas attracting consistent competition. | At the same time, secondary teas continue to face a more difficult environment. Clearance often requires price adjustment, reinforcing the widening gap between premium and standard quality across the catalog.| Podlink signup: https://pod.link/1549975153
