Finlay Tea Named ‘Best Tea Exporter’ for the Second Consecutive Year

Finlay Tea – The Consolidated Tea and Lands Company (Bangladesh) Limited, one of Bangladesh’s most historic tea producers and exporters, has been honoured with the “Best Tea Exporter 2026” award for the second consecutive year.

The recognition was presented in acknowledgement of Finlay Tea’s outstanding contribution to Bangladesh’s tea industry, its commitment to quality, and its continued efforts to enhance the reputation of Bangladeshi tea in international markets.

The award was presented by the Bangladesh Tea Board, the regulatory authority of the country’s tea industry, at a grand ceremony held in Sreemangal on 20 June 2026 to mark National Tea Day 2026.

Nearly 130 Years of Tea Heritage

Established in 1896, Finlay Tea carries a proud legacy spanning nearly 130 years and remains one of the oldest and leading tea-producing companies in Bangladesh.

Beyond tea production, Finlay has also played a pioneering role in the history of Bangladesh’s tea exports. For decades, the company has been instrumental in introducing the distinctive taste, aroma, and heritage of Bangladeshi tea to consumers across international markets.

From Garden to Global Market

One of Finlay Tea’s greatest strengths lies in its independently owned tea estates.

From harvesting fresh tea leaves in its gardens to processing them using modern technology under its own management, and finally exporting the finished products to international markets, every stage of the process is carried out under Finlay’s direct supervision.

This extensive experience and integrated capability—from cultivation and production to delivering tea to consumers around the world—have helped Finlay establish a distinctive position within Bangladesh’s tea industry.

Meeting the Demands of the Global Tea Market

In today’s international tea market, success depends not only on export volume but also on maintaining product quality and offering greater variety.

With its decades of experience and expertise, Finlay Tea continues to meet these challenges successfully while adapting to the evolving demands of global consumers.

Alongside exporting premium-quality Black Tea, Finlay has strengthened Bangladesh’s presence in the international market through the export of high-quality Green Tea. Its contribution to the country’s green tea export sector has made Finlay a distinctive name in this growing category.

A Diverse Range for Modern Tea Drinkers

Finlay Tea also offers a premium and diverse selection of teas for consumers in Bangladesh.

In addition to traditional Black Tea, the company has introduced a variety of popular products designed to meet the changing tastes and health-conscious preferences of modern consumers. Some of its notable offerings include:

  • Shinrai Japanese Green Tea
  • English Breakfast Tea
  • Masala Tea
  • Ginger Tea
  • Tulsi Tea

This diverse product portfolio demonstrates that Finlay Tea is not only a custodian of a rich tea heritage but also an innovative company that continues to evolve with changing consumer preferences and international market trends.

A Recognition of Excellence and Commitment

Winning the “Best Tea Exporter” recognition for the second consecutive year reflects Finlay Tea’s nearly 130 years of experience, dedication, commitment to product excellence, and unwavering efforts to promote Bangladeshi tea on the global stage.

As Finlay Tea continues to combine tradition with innovation, the company remains committed to strengthening the reputation of Bangladesh’s tea industry and carrying the country’s distinctive tea heritage to consumers around the world.
