Taking the risk out of tea transportation
Tea delivery is a delicate operation. The raw materials must be gathered at the appropriate time of year. If it’s too late, the tea might lose quality while being transported. Tea may be stored well for up to 18 months, however in order to safeguard the commodities, special care must be taken at each stage of the exporting process. Any variety of factors, including moisture intrusion, odours, shrinkage, insufficient ventilation, insect infestation, or faulty cooperage, may cause tea to rot. At OnClickLogistics, we make sure that inspections are done at aeach stage of the tea’s journey.
Ensuring perfect conditions
Since tea travels throughout regions of the globe, ideal circumstances are required. For this reason, we transport tea in dry, food-grade containers that have the proper amount of controlled ventilation. We make sure the tea is always packed properly and that there are no dangers of cross-contamination due to wet floors. Chest linings made of aluminium or multiwall paper bags should be in direct touch with the tea. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries concerning the cargo services we provide for transporting tea.
