Tea Tasting
This is a refined and specialised skill and is an intrinsic part of auctioning. The subtle and varied nuances of every invoice of tea is first tasted, judged and valued by tea tasters before offering at auctions.

Auctions
Tea auctions are like specialised supermarkets where every conceivable quality and variety is available. Therefore each buyer, with his own individual requirements can source teas through one point, the Auctioneer acting as guarantor of this transaction. The system encourages free competition, ensuring a transparent price to the buyer and guaranteed payment to the producer.
