    CUSTOM TEA BLENDING

    Turn your tea idea into a formula that tastes right and works in production.

    Custom blending is for brands that want an original formula rather than an established tea with a new label. You do not need to know the percentages. Tell us the customer, flavour direction, ingredients, format and commercial goal, and we help turn that brief into a blend you can sample and refine.

    We provide custom tea formulation and custom herbal tea blending for businesses in Australia and overseas, developing each project at our Sydney facility with the finished product in mind from the beginning.

    AUD $420

    Custom blend development, including the sample and refinement process described below.

    Sydney developed

    Formulated and produced in Australia for local and overseas brands.

    Multiple formats

    Loose leaf, plant-based pyramid tea bags and bulk blend supply.

    Real people, direct access

    Your development service includes the opportunity to speak with our blending team by video conference. You will also have an allocated wholesale manager with a direct mobile number, and site inspections of our Sydney facility are welcome by appointment.

    Custom blending begins where private label stops

    Private label uses one of our established blends under your branding. It is usually the simpler and quicker option when an existing formula already suits the job.

    Custom blending develops a new formula around your brief, with formulation, sampling, feedback and a final production specification. If you do not need custom development, we will say so. See private label tea.

    A good blend has to work beyond the tasting table

    A sample can taste excellent and still be difficult to manufacture, pack consistently or sell at the right price. We consider the finished product from the beginning.

    Taste and appearance

    Flavour, aroma, colour and finish need to suit your customer and the way the tea will be brewed.

    Format

    Loose leaf and pyramid tea bags can require different cuts, densities and ingredient choices.

    Consistency

    Ingredients need to distribute well enough for one pouch or tea bag to resemble the next.

    Commercial price

    Ingredient grades, percentages and fill weight need to make sense at your intended retail price.

    Our tea blends use organic herbs. We maintain supplier certificates, Certificates of Analysis and batch records, with relevant documentation available for the ingredients selected for your project.

    How custom blend development works

    1. Brief and feasibility

    We clarify your customer, flavour, ingredients, format, quantity and market, then check sourcing and manufacturability.

    2. Formulation

    Our blending team develops the direction and ratios around the agreed brief.

    3. Sample and feedback

    You receive a physically blended 100g sample to brew and assess using the intended method.

    4. Refine and finalise

    One additional re-blend is included if needed. Once approved, the final ratios become the production formula.

    What the AUD $420 development fee covers

    You do not need tea blending experience or a finished recipe. You will work with our experienced blending team, which includes two tea sommeliers.

    16-question questionnaire

    Your customer, flavour direction, ingredients, format and commercial goals.

    Recommended direction

    Our blending team's proposed approach for your approval.

    One 100g sample

    A physically blended sample sent to you for tasting.

    One additional re-blend

    Included if the first sample needs adjustment.

    Sample freight, specially sourced ingredients, external testing, packaging and production are priced separately. Further re-blends are also priced separately.

    Your formula, your choice

    You own the final formula

    Once the development fee has been paid and you approve the final blend, the completed recipe is signed off as your intellectual property. We provide the final ratios in percentage format.

    Production is a separate decision

    Approving a sample does not lock you into a large run. Manufacturing is quoted from the approved formula, format, fill weight, packaging and quantity.

    Australia and overseas

    We develop suitable projects for Australian and international brands. Our Sydney facility is registered with the US FDA. Registration is not product approval and does not replace brand-owner or importer responsibilities.

    You can manufacture the approved formula with Bondi Beach Tea Co. or take it to another suitably equipped tea manufacturer.

    White-label tea dropshipping can also be arranged for suitable projects that we manufacture. Finished branded stock is purchased in advance and can be held at an agreed fulfilment location for direct dispatch to your customers, avoiding the extra freight leg through your own warehouse.

    Questions about custom tea blending

    Can you develop a blend if I do not know the ratios?

    Yes. A clear customer, flavour and format brief is enough to begin. Developing the ratios is part of the formulation work.

    Can you manufacture a recipe I already own?

    Yes. If you already own a recipe, we can act as your custom tea manufacturer, subject to manufacturability, ingredient sourcing and production requirements. Send the exact percentages, ingredient specifications, intended format and expected quantity. We review manufacturability, sourcing and confidentiality before quoting.

    How much does custom blend development cost?

    The development fee is AUD $420 per blend. It includes the questionnaire, our recommended blending direction, one physically blended 100g sample and one additional re-blend if needed. Sample freight and specially sourced ingredients are separate.

    What is the production minimum?

    The minimum depends on the final formula, format and packaging. Specially sourced ingredients or custom-printed components can have their own supplier minimums. We confirm the real minimum before production is approved.

    Can the same formula be packed as loose leaf and tea bags?

    Sometimes, but not automatically. Tea bags may need a different cut or a slight ratio adjustment to brew at the same strength and remain consistent during filling.

    How long does development take?

    Timing depends on the brief, ingredient availability and current blending schedule. We give you a realistic sample timeframe when the development scope is confirmed.

    Start with the blend brief

    Tell us your country, target customer, flavour direction, ingredients, preferred format, rough quantity and intended launch timing. If some decisions are still open, that is fine. We will help you work out what needs to be settled first.
