As the second flush summer harvest is underway, four tons of fresh Assam Teas are enroute to the Mana-Organics warehouse in St. Louis, MO. and arrive at the end of July.
“Our first year in the US market has been successful,” commented John Grams, Mana’s US Director. “We are pleased to introduce three new teas to American buyers at the 2017 World Tea Expo, as well as the conventional teas from our Dinjoye tea estate in the Upper Assam region.”
After the World Tea Expo, John plans a US tea trip with Mana’s CEO, Avantika Jalan. Their first stop is the Northeast near Detroit to work with tea blenders. Then a west coast Portland trip is planned at the end of June to meet with tea businesses.
“We enjoy working with clients to develop new product ideas,” shared Avantika, who is a fourth-generation tea grower in the Assam Valley, and led the USDA Organic Certification for their organic tea estate, Chota Tingrai.
