Diverse Brand Portfolio Ownership of multiple Tea India, Southern Breeze, Dorset Tea, National Cup, and Big Tea brands, plus licensed US e-commerce distributions (Red Rose, Salada, Newman’s Own Organic Teas), creates cross-sell opportunities across retail, foodservice, and private-label channels for both existing and new customers.
