Everton Tea India lifts Sri City output to 3 million tea bags a day for Walmart, Aldi and Carrefour private labels
Our read
Everton Tea India will more likely than not keep scaling Sri City output for private-label exports, mainly through line additions and herbal and flavoured blends rather than a new plant.
For operators
Everton Tea India's Sri City plant now makes 3 million tea bags a day, up from 2.5 million over three years, so private-label buyers can count on a bigger export supplier, with about 30% herbal bags, 40 flavours and 24 packaging machines.

The report,
Everton Tea India's Tirupati factory has grown from 2.5 million bags a day over the past three years, and the bags are exported under private labels. About 30% of the bags are herbal.

Why it matters for the brand
Everton Tea India's 3 million bags a day for Walmart, Aldi and Carrefour private labels, with about 30% herbal and 40 flavours, makes it a scaled Indian export co-packer that retailers and brand owners could partner with or study as a benchmark.
What to track next
- A rise in the herbal share above the current 30% of bags
- A new retailer private-label contract or a widening of the Walmart, Aldi or Carrefour programmes
- Indian tea auction price spikes or supply disruptions affecting the 90% domestic sourcing
- Hiring beyond the current base of around 300 shop-floor staff
