Working with suppliers in this city
Most producers here are small and medium-sized, so buyers should verify capacity and consistency before committing to a programme, and consider consolidating several producers through one trading partner. Tea buyers should confirm grade, harvest season, moisture and pesticide residue testing. Handicraft orders need clear artwork, colour and size tolerances, and generous lead times.
