Starlon Naturals is a B2B Darjeeling tea manufacturer, bulk supplier, and exporter based in Begusarai, India. We supply Darjeeling Orthodox teas — including First Flush, Second Flush, and Autumnal Flush grades — to premium tea brands, private label packers, speciality retailers, and luxury hospitality operators across international markets. All products are sourced from Tea Board of India certified gardens and supplied under ISO 22000:2018, HACCP, GMP, Halal, and Kosher certified conditions.
Darjeeling tea is produced exclusively in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India, in the sub-Himalayan foothills. It holds a Protected Geographical Indication (GI) tag — the first product in India to receive GI protection — and is internationally recognised in the EU, UK, USA, and Japan as a geographically protected agricultural product.
Darjeeling tea is produced using Orthodox processing only, which preserves the whole-leaf structure through withering, hand or mechanical rolling, controlled oxidation, and firing. The resulting tea has a complex, layered flavour profile that varies distinctly by flush season — a characteristic that makes it the most terroir-driven tea in the world and one of the most valued commodities in the global premium tea trade.
First and Second Flush whole-leaf grades for single-origin and single-estate product lines.
Full range of grades available for retail and foodservice private label formats. Custom blending and labelling supported.
GI-certified sourcing with estate traceability. Lot-specific CoA on request.
Hotels, airlines, and fine dining operators: premium whole-leaf grades in tailored packaging formats. Consistent supply across seasons.
Tailored offerings for buyers targeting EU, UK, USA, Japan, and Middle East markets.
Tea grades suitable for tea bag filling with consistent particle size and extraction profile.
Darjeeling tea is produced exclusively using the Orthodox method, which preserves the structural integrity of the leaf and the complexity of the final cup. The key processing stages are:
Freshly harvested tea leaves are spread out to reduce moisture and prepare the leaves for further processing.
The leaves are rolled to break the leaf cells and initiate the development of flavour and aroma.
Rolled leaves are kept under controlled conditions to develop colour, flavour, and liquor characteristics.
Heated air is used to stop oxidation and reduce moisture for stable storage and quality preservation.
The processed tea is sorted into different grades based on leaf size and quality before final approval and packing.
