Private Label Tea Manufacturing FAQs
Welcome to Chalywell’s private label tea FAQs. Here you will find answers to the most common questions about our custom tea manufacturing, MOQ, and shipping processes.
1.What‘s your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for private label tea?
We structure our MOQs to support the scalable growth of premium wellness brands, rather than just filling factory lines.
Standard Premium Pilot (50,000 Bags): > This is our strategic launch threshold. It grants your brand direct access to our BRC-certified, Bigelow-grade manufacturing ecosystem. At 50,000 bags, you can leverage our advanced, eco-friendly formats—including ultrasonic-sealed PLA pyramids and zero-glue, staple-free stitched teabags—along with our 11 market-tested functional formulas.
Enterprise Volume (300,000+ Bags): > Designed for mature brand rollouts and complex packaging formats (such as our premium knotted double chamber teabags). Orders at this scale unlock our Tier-1 volume pricing structure.

3.Can I get samples before placing a bulk order?
Absolutely. We want you to be 100% confident in our manufacturing quality before placing a bulk order.
We have prepared a wide variety of Chalywell product samples ready for dispatch. You only need to cover the international shipping cost and a nominal sample fee. To ensure fairness and availability, we limit sample requests to a maximum of three boxes per client.

4.Are your tea manufacturing facilities internationally certified?
Yes, our contract manufacturing facilities operate strictly under the highest global food safety standards. We proudly hold BRC certification (which fully complies with rigorous EU requirements), alongside HACCP and Halal certifications.
Furthermore, our factory is fully equipped to support USDA Organic and Rainforest Alliance certified production. As these are product-specific certifications, we can seamlessly guide your custom tea blends through the approval process, just as we have successfully done for many of our current OEM partners.

5.Do you offer custom tea blending and formulation?
Yes, custom tea blending and formulation is one of our core ODM services. With over 20 years of OEM factory experience, we have developed successful commercial formulas for nearly every type of tea on the global market.
By partnering with a vast network of global raw material suppliers, we can source exactly what you need to create your unique private label recipe. However, our greatest competitive advantage and expertise lie in formulating with premium, Chinese-sourced tea ingredients and traditional botanicals.
