TEA MARKET REPORT : SALE NO: 07 – 17TH /18TH FEBRUARY 2015
COMMENTS
P O BOX 76, COLOMBO. TEL : 2306000
Production from all elevations were reported to be at moderate levels. However, on account of the hot and
dry conditions during the day and exceptionally cold nights experienced, we are likely to see a drop in crop
intakes. With ideal conditions conducive for ‘quality manufacture’, the Western Sector has accentuated the
production of teas with ‘seasonal character’. With a fair quantity of bright teas on offer in the ensuing
sales,we expect these teas to attract a wide buyer response.
Despite improved quality on offer, today’s Ex Estate quantity of 1.0Mkgs met with less demand. A few good
BOPs barely maintained, whilst the below best and plainer types were easier. Barring a few good BOPFs
which sold at last week’s levels, most others declined. Below best types too were marginally easier, whilst
the plainer types were firm and at times dearer. Brighter Nuwara Eliya BOP/BOPFs met with improved
demand. Uva/Udapussellawa’s however, were marginally easier. Low Grown CTC PF1s tended easier
following less demand from Russia and the Tea Bag Sector. High and Medium types too were irregular
following quality. A feature of the sale was improved demand for bright semi leafy FBOPs and PEKOE1s
which were keenly sought after on account of superior quality.
The 3.8 Mkgs of Low Growns that were on offer this week, met with less demand. In the Leafy category,
other than the Pekoe grade, which sold around last levels, all others declined by Rs.10/- to Rs.15/-. The
BOP1s in particular, were difficult of sale. In the Small leaf category, the Tippy varieties continued to be
unsellable, whilst the FBOP/FBOPF1s too declined Rs.10/- to Rs.15/- and more at times.
Prices for Low Grown teas have continued to decline in the past three to four months. The Low Grown
average during the same period of 2014 was at Rs.513.77 whilst, the sale average at the sale of 10 th/11th
February 2015 was only Rs.426.22, almost Rs.88/- decline, when compared to 2014 levels.
Iranian buyers were rather quiet, whilst the Russian buyers too were not at their usual buying strength,
however Iraq, Libya, Turkey and Syrian buyers were fairly active.

IMAGE OF CEYLON TEA RECEIVED UNPRECEDENT BOOST IN DESERT LAND
“Ceylon Tea” which pioneered to help the popularity of the small Indian Ocean Island to global stardom for
more than a century received a terrific upgrading recently at the world’s largest annual Food & Beverage
Exhibition “Gulfood” in Dubai. The platform was a Ceylon Specialty Estate Tea of the Year Competition and
a Charity Tea Auction focusing on the discerning tea consumers in the Middle East & Gulf Region. The event
portrayed the strength of unity and understanding of another public/private partnership within the Sri Lanka
tea industry.
The Sri Lanka Tea Board and the Colombo Tea Trader’s Association in collaboration with the Tea Promotion
Unit of the Consulate General of Sri Lanka office in Dubai teamed up to organize this promotional program
for the first time ever in the Middle East/Gulf/North Africa Region. This was yet another successful attempt
by the industry stake holders in Sri Lanka for the nation brand “Ceylon Tea” to be firmly portrayed with a
view to secure a more prominent space in the global tea fraternity. Similar projects related to Estate Tea of
the Year contest and Charity Tea Auctions have been undertaken by the Tea Board and the Sri Lanka Tea
Industry in USA, Japan and Russia during the past fifteen years with tremendous mileage for straight-line unblended garden marks.
The event attracted many tea factories in Sri Lanka and the secretariat received more than 1200
applications with tea samples for the competition. The pre-qualifying rounds of the contest was held in Sri
Lanka and utilized the entire past year for short listing of samples eligible for the final round concluded in
Dubai. Due to the intense competition, a number as high as 112 tea samples qualified for the final round
under 10 major categories namely, Nuwara Eliya, Uda Pussellawa, Dimbula, Uva, Kandy, Sabaragamuwa,
Ruhuna, Green Tea, CTC & Innovative Category. The pinnacle of the gala event was concluded at the Dubai
World Trade Centre on 9th of February 2015 and it coincided with the “Gulfood” Exhibition.
Four expert Tea Tasters namely, Anselm Perera, Chairman, Colombo Tea Traders Association and the
globally renowned Mlesna tea brand, Joseph Sinniah, Director of Akbar Brothers Limited, the single largest
tea exporter to the world, Andrey Kraynev, Director of James Finlay Middle East (former Tea Taster of May
Tea Co) and Richard Smyth, Director of RDS Tea Trading Dubai (former Tetley Group & Baeshen & Co,
Jeddah) judged the winning teas.

CHITTAGONG MARKET
SALE NO. 39 - SALE OF 17TH FEBRUARY 2015
CTC LEAF: 27,686 packages of tea on offer which met with strong but selective demand.
BROKENS: All good Brokens met with a good demand and were mostly firm. The smaller types with brighter
liquors were occasionally dearer. These could be quoted between Tk.198/- and Tk.208/-. Mediums were
easier following quality whilst poor fibrous types were again neglected with heavy withdrawals.
FANNINGS: A few good liquoring Fannings on offer were strongly competed for and advanced on a broad
front by Tk.10/- and more. A few select lines sold between Tk.210/- and Tk.225/-. Mediums were about
steady. Plain teas again were difficult of sale with end of season teas remaining unsold.
CTC DUST: 4,544 packages of tea on offer met with a strong demand. A few better liquoring varieties were
strongly competed for and were dearer by upto Tk.10/- and more. Others sold around last levels. Plainest
varieties were a lower market with some withdrawals. Blenders lent strong support with more interest from
the Loose tea buyers.
COMMENTS: Buyers were strongly competing for the few bright liquoring teas on offer which appreciated by
a fair margin but other types especially the poor plain varieties were severely discounted with a heavy
weight remaining unsold. Blenders were more active with fair interest from the Loose tea buyers.
Good liquoring Dusts were a strong feature of the sale.
