Methodology & Data Sources

TeaTrade presents only aggregated market averages. We do not reproduce lot-level results, buyer/seller identities, broker commentary, or any granular or commercially sensitive detail.

Global & regional benchmarks — monthly average auction prices from the World Bank "Pink Sheet", published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) licence.
Indian centre averages — weekly weighted-average prices published by the Tea Board of India.
FX & macro overlays — public central-bank and market reference rates.

Reports across brokers and centres are released on different days and occasionally differ; where sources conflict we prefer official association/board figures and volume-weighted averages, and normalise everything to a consistent set of grade buckets. Figures are for education and market study only and do not represent real-time executable prices on any exchange.
