How Contract Manufacturing with Blue Ocean Can make Headway for Tea Business Owners

The global tea market is hugely attractive and the power of the internet means that businesses in any country can set up profitable, niche tea businesses and find customers in any country in the world – if they have the right business model and marketing plans.

Many of the most successful tea brands work with private label tea manufacturers to source their ingredients, recognising that the most important element of their brand offer is the quality of their product.

What we offer?

We are specialist tea manufacturers and produce small-batch blends using the latest technologies, such as frictionless blenders. We carry out contracted manufacturing for our business customers and act as a private label manufacturer of speciality teas. As well as our cutting-edge blending facilities, we have pouch and tin filling machines, envelope machines and mesh teabag machines according to your needs.

The advantages of using private label tea manufacturers

We have a specialist team of master blenders with the expertise to produce 250 MT of tea blends, fruit, herbs and spices every year. The teas that we can produce as private label tea manufacturers include speciality loose leaf teas, ready-to-drink products, ice products, single-serve products, pyramid sachets and CBD products.

Quality assurance

One of the many reasons that our customers use our services as private label tea manufacturers is that we have a best-in-class quality assurance process that guarantees the quality and integrity of your precision tea blends. This is vital to your business and your brand, ensuring that your product is always at its peak and formulated in a consistent way.

Our quality control process begins with a processing facility that is completely free of allergens and progresses to a system of internal QS audits. We also have a full environmental monitoring programme, a supplier management program to promote ethical business, and a sample retention programme for traceability. All incoming ingredients are carefully checked and every resulting product is sensory evaluated.
