The United Kingdom is a nation powered by tea. From the morning builder’s brew to elegant afternoon teas, Brits consume an estimated 100 million cups of tea every single day. If you're in the tea business — or planning to start — the UK is one of the most profitable and stable tea markets in the world.

At Tamila Agrifood, we proudly supply high-quality Iranian tea to British wholesalers, retailers, e-commerce platforms, and foodservice businesses — with end-to-end import support.

Why the UK Is a Top Destination for Tea Imports?

The UK tea industry is worth over £1.2 billion annually, with a strong demand for diverse, clean-label, and ethically sourced teas. While traditional Indian and Chinese teas dominate shelf space, Iranian tea is emerging as a hidden gem for savvy buyers and health-conscious consumers.

Key UK Tea Market Trends:

•    Rise in organic and pesticide-free teas

•    Growing demand for unique origins and blends

•    Interest in plastic-free, eco-packaging

•    Shift toward direct-from-farm sourcing

What Makes Iranian Tea a Perfect Match for UK Buyers?

Iranian tea is cultivated naturally in the lush Caspian Sea region, without chemical additives. Its rich color, bold taste, and zero artificial flavoring make it a top contender in today’s clean-food movement.

At Tamila Agrifood, we offer:

•    Whole leaf black and green teas

•    Custom herbal blends

•    Loose-leaf and retail-packed options

•    Private label services for UK brands
