Episode Details

Tea markets closed WEEK 17 with prices edging firmer across the major auction centers, but the underlying signal remains quality, not volume. | Across Colombo, North India, Mombasa, and Indonesia, buyers continued to participate, but with discipline. Competition focused on clean, well-manufactured teas needed for immediate blending and export commitments. Secondary grades remained more difficult to secure, requiring price adjustments or weaker bidding. | Pricing reflects that structure clearly. In Colombo, prices averaged $3.24 per kilo, up three cents week-on-week. North India averaged $1.92, up four cents on the last available official benchmark. Mombasa came in at $2.23, up two cents on the prior sale, while Indonesia averaged $2.44, also up three cents on an indicative basis.| Podlink signup: https://pod.link/1549975153
