Unified Logistics & Freight Operations
The journey from the high-altitude Nilgiri hills to your destination warehouse is the most critical phase for tea preservation. We keep our distribution operations lean, transparent, and focused entirely on protecting your product quality and ensuring hassle-free logistics transport.
Straightforward Sourcing & Shipping Terms
We operate a highly clear logistics model that gives you complete authority over your freight rates and routing, while we manage the operational complexities at the origin.
- FOB Operations (Global Export): For international accounts, we operate strictly on FOB (Free On Board) Cochin terms for direct mainline ocean routes, or FOB Tuticorin terms for optimized regional transshipments. Our focus remains on the secure, rapid handover of cargo to your vessel.
- Domestic Dispatch (India Supply): For domestic Indian packaging units and beverage brands, we coordinate standard ex-warehouse collections or arrange trusted overland commercial truck logistics directly from our Ooty staging grounds straight to your factory doors.
- Scalable Wholesale Volumes: We facilitate FCL (Full Container Load) and full
commercial truckloads for corporate efficiency, alongside LCL (Less-than-Container Load) or partial dispatches for pilot product lines and growing regional brands. - Logistics & Forwarder Collaboration: We coordinate directly with your designated freight forwarders or domestic transport agencies, providing real-time scheduling updates to guarantee timely port clearance or warehouse arrival.
Transit-Safe Packaging
Long-distance distribution exposes bulk tea to severe atmospheric and humidity changes. We utilize standardized, maritime-grade packaging to guarantee your tea arrives exactly as it left the factory dryer.
- Bulk Sacks: All wholesale lots are packed in heavy-duty, multi-wall paper sacks (ranking from 25kg to 50kg) engineered for stable container stacking and heavy truck transit.
- The Moisture Vapor Barrier: Every single sack features a non-negotiable, heat-sealed aluminum or HDPE inner liner. This barrier blocks ambient atmospheric humidity, maintaining our less than 4.5% moisture guarantee throughout transit.
- Palletization Protocols: To facilitate instantaneous, safe unloading at your facility, ISPM-15 compliant (heat-treated) wooden pallets are available upon request, fully shrink-wrapped and heavy-strapped
The Compliance Handover
Delayed paperwork means delayed tea. We provide a precise, standardized documentation packet with every shipment so your customs broker or domestic tax team can clear the cargo immediately upon arrival.
- Commercial / GST Invoicing & Packing List: Accurately detailed to match your specific lot numbers and tax HSN classifications.
- Certificate of Origin: Official verification of authentic Indian Nilgiri provenance for international accounts.
- Phytosanitary Certificate: Issued by the Indian Plant Quarantine Authority to clear agricultural inspections seamlessly for overseas buyers.
- Bill of Lading / Delivery Note: Essential title documentation, surrendered promptly upon vessel departure or warehouse truck dispatch.
- The Quality Dossier: Your independent lab reports and Transaction Certificates (TCs) are included to satisfy any internal corporate quality audits instantly.
