ODM Tea structures tea enquiries around origin, grade, target cup, destination controls, packing and shipping terms. Company-specific production, certification, testing and lead-time details are confirmed in the quotation and supporting records.
What does specifying origin, grade and destination change?
A written specification fixes grade, moisture and residue standard in the contract instead of inheriting them from whichever lot was available on the open market that week. The eight steps from origin partner to container show where the grade, moisture, residue and packing terms are set.
This site does not claim ownership, certification or shipment performance without supporting records.

Origin partners
Named origin partners across the Fujian origins — Fuding (Ningde) and Zhenghe (Nanping) for white; Pinghe (Zhangzhou), Anxi (Quanzhou) and Wuyishan (Nanping) for oolong; Tongmu (Wuyishan) and Fu'an for black; Ningde, Quanzhou and Fuzhou for green; Fuzhou for jasmine. The producing party and its relationship to ODM Tea are named in the quotation.

Traitement primaire à l'origine
Le thé blanc est séché et séché sans laminage ou fixation, ce qui explique pourquoi sa qualité est déterminée par le prélèvement standard sur le terrain.
Refining
Refining line03
Réfinement et dépistage
Sorting, screening to size, stalk and fibre removal, and firing to the contract moisture. This is the step that turns a garden lot into a grade, and it is where sourced gunpowder and Chunmee are brought to the written contract specification.
Cupping
Cupping against the approved sample04
Révision sensorielle
Where the contract names an approved sample, the lot is cupped against it: dry leaf, liquor colour, aroma and infused leaf. The contract should state that a lot which does not match is not shipped under that grade code.
05
Laboratoire
05
Tests en laboratoire
Where testing is included in the quotation, moisture, ash and broken content are measured, plus a pesticide residue panel specified against the destination jurisdiction rather than the origin standard. The contract names the laboratory and when the report is issued.
Lots
Finished lots on trays06
Le mélange avec l'échantillon approuvé
Where a buyer contracts a fixed cup across shipments, lots are blended to hold that cup rather than shipped as single lots. This is the practical answer to seasonal variation in an agricultural product.

Emballage
07
Emballage
En masse dans des sacs ou cartons en papier multivallés au poids net contracté, ou en emballage au détail en unités de 3 kg ou moins qui déplacent l'envoi vers HS 0902.10 ou 0902.30 et mettent en œuvre la législation sur l'étiquetage de la destination.
08
Documents
08
Documents et exportation
Commercial invoice and packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate and health certificate, plus a residue report and certificate of analysis where testing is contracted. FOB, CFR or CIF for sea freight, with Ningbo or Shanghai confirmed in the quotation; rail via Khorgos–Altynkol is quoted under a rule for any mode of transport.

D'où vient chaque produit ?
Five of the lines are Fujian-origin categories — white, oolong, black, green and jasmine — with the producing partner named in the quotation. Two are sourced from outside Fujian and labelled with their origin: gunpowder and Chunmee are Zhejiang and Anhui teas. Two are programmes scoped per quotation: Organic Programme and Private Label & Packing. Fujian ships two thirds of China's oolong tea exports and ranks first in China for scented tea exports, which is why the origin track sits there.

Questions fréquentes
ODM Tea est-elle une usine ou un intermédiaire ?
L'étiquette « usine » ou « négociant » ne dit rien sans preuve. Les parties qui produisent, raffinent et conditionnent, ainsi que leur relation avec ODM Tea, sont nommées dans le devis à côté de la spécification. Le gunpowder et le chunmee proviennent du Zhejiang et de l'Anhui car ce ne sont pas des thés du Fujian ; cette provenance est indiquée sur chaque page où ces produits apparaissent.
Le ODM Tea peut-il contenir une tasse à travers les envois répétés ?
Where a fixed cup is written into the contract, lots are blended to the approved sample rather than shipped as single lots. Tea is an agricultural product with seasonal variation, so a fixed cup across shipments comes from blending, not from finding an identical lot twice.
Qui fait les tests de résidus ?
Where testing is included in the quotation, the contract names the accredited laboratory and a panel specified against the destination jurisdiction. It should also require the report before loading rather than with the shipping documents, because a report that arrives with the container cannot prevent a rejection.
Quels formats d'emballage sont disponibles ?
Bulk into multiwall paper sacks or cartons at the contract net weight, and retail packing into units of 3 kg or less. Retail packing changes the HS subheading from 0902.20 to 0902.10, or from 0902.40 to 0902.30, and brings the destination's labelling law into scope.
What Incoterms and load ports?
FOB, CFR or CIF for sea freight, with Ningbo or Shanghai confirmed in the quotation. Central Asia is quoted by rail through the Khorgos–Altynkol corridor under a rule for any mode of transport, because FOB, CFR and CIF are sea and inland-waterway rules.
