Tea Price Report | Week 40 | Ending 4 October

This week in tea markets, quality continued to earn premiums across major auctions.

In East Africa, lighter catalogues at Mombasa helped PF1 and BP1 hold firm, though plainer grades still met resistance.

In Sri Lanka, Colombo’s seasonal Uva lines drew keen bids while other orthodox grades traded at irregular rates.

India’s Kolkata and Guwahati auctions were steady overall as retail inflation remained contained. On the destination side, Pakistan’s weekly index was mixed, while U.S. beverage prices ticked higher on the month.

Bottom line: quality sells, buyers remain disciplined, and premiums are increasingly tied to leaf cleanliness and cup brightness
