The Process
Step 1: Harvesting – Grown with Care
The journey starts on the fertile slopes of our tea-growing region. Here, our dedicated partner smallholder farmers hand-pluck only the youngest, most tender tea leaves.
Harvesting is done with precision—typically the top two leaves and a bud—to ensure maximum flavor and aroma.
These farmers are the foundation of our success, combining traditional know-how with sustainable farming practices to grow premium-quality tea.
Step 2: Collection – First Checkpoint of Quality
After harvesting, the fresh leaves are delivered to Tea Buying Centers. At this stage:
Leaves are sorted and inspected by trained clerks to ensure they meet our strict quality standards. Once approved, they are weighed, and the quantity is recorded.
The leaves are then ‘sold’ to Momul leaf carriers, who are responsible for transporting them to the factory. This step ensures that only the finest raw material continues the journey to becoming Momul Tea.
Step 3: Transportation – On the Move
The green leaf is loaded onto specialized lorries called leaf carriers.
Upon arrival at Momul Tea Factory, each lorry is: Weighed again to cross-check delivery volumes.
Then offloaded at the receiving bay for immediate processing.
Time is critical at this stage to maintain the freshness and integrity of the leaf.
