Welcome to Manish Tea Traders, your trusted wholesale tea partner in Siliguri, West Bengal.

With 20+ years of experience in the heart of India's tea trading hub, we provide more than just tea—we provide the competitive edge your business needs.
Why Siliguri is India's Tea Trading Hub
Siliguri isn't just another city—it's the beating heart of India's tea industry. Nestled at the foothills of the Himalayas, our city serves as the primary trading center for tea produced across North Bengal and the Northeast. Every week, thousands of kilograms of premium tea pass through the Siliguri Tea Auction Centre (STAC), making this the most important location for anyone serious about quality tea sourcing. Manish Tea Traders is located just minutes from the auction house, giving us the first pick of every single lot that comes to market.

The Manish Tea Traders Difference: Sourcing Excellence
Direct Auction Participation at STAC
Unlike secondary wholesalers who buy from other traders, we are direct participants in the Siliguri Tea Auction Centre (STAC). Every Tuesday and Wednesday, our expert tasters evaluate hundreds of samples from premier gardens in the Dooars and Terai regions. We bid on lots that offer the best balance of liquor strength, infusion color, and leaf appearance. This direct sourcing eliminates middleman margins of 10-15%, which we pass directly to you.
Location-Enabled Freshness
Our warehouse and tasting center are strategically located in Mahananda Para, Siliguri—the nerve center of the tea trade. Being physically present here means we access freshly auctioned tea before it travels thousands of kilometers to reach hubs like Delhi or Mumbai. When you buy from us, you're getting tea that was plucked and processed just days ago, ensuring the volatile aromatic compounds are preserved.
