SPOTLIGHT | Relocating to Expand and Enhance Lives

QTrade Teas & Botanicals, one of the biggest tea blenders and packers in the United States, is relocating from Cerritos, California, to Houston, Texas, a port city on the Gulf of Mexico.

Construction of a state-of-the-art facility in Brookshire is underway, with a move-in date in September. The new facility will double the company’s temperature-controlled manufacturing space and warehouse up to seven million pounds of tea and botanicals. Expanded capabilities include automated packaging, tea and powder blending, micro-reduction capabilities, and expanded 3PL logistics services.

QTrade CEO Manjiv Jayakumar discusses the business and quality-of-life considerations that led to the move.

Manjiv was named QTrade’s chief executive officer in 2010, originally a trading company his father founded in his uncle’s garage in 1994. QTrade specializes in sourcing organic tea and botanicals and has grown to be one of the largest organic tea suppliers and contract manufacturers in North America. Manjiv is a Harvard graduate with a master's in public policy and a degree in foreign service from Georgetown University. Prior to joining QTrade, Manjiv worked with Goldman Sachs in New York and London.
