Minimum order quantity is one of the first questions buyers ask, but the useful answer depends on tea category, packaging, season, and how much customization is required.
How MOQ Changes
Loose tea in plain bulk packaging can often start lower than fully private label retail packaging. Custom tins, printed boxes, and multi-SKU gift sets usually require higher production quantities because packaging factories have their own minimums.
A Practical Starting Point
New brands should start with samples, then a small pilot SKU list, then repeatable seasonal ordering. This reduces the risk of buying too many products before customer demand is proven.
