For centuries, tea consumers have been dependent on auctions, traders, brokers and re-packers to source their tea simply because there was no direct access to the tea estates - and the very people who grow this heavenly product.
Today, though, through Walters Bay & Co., consumers can buy their tea directly from the people who grow it - bypassing all the various middlemen.
By bringing premium quality tea directly from our gardens to the consumer, our customers receive fresher teas at the most competitive prices. There are no intermediary storage points or middleman markups.
We at Walters Bay & Co. believe that our unique estate-direct business model affords customers the opportunity to enjoy premium quality Ceylon teas at substantial cost savings. As you consider Walters Bay & Co. for your tea supplier, as part of your tea program, or simply for your next 'cuppa,' remember several points:
