Tea Business

I am in the process of starting a new tea business. I am planning to open an online tea store in which i would like to keep teas of different brands and variety. Right now I am looking for a wholesaler. Here are a couple of things that I was hoping to obtain from this post.

1) Questions that I can ask the wholesaler to help me decide who to use.
2) I’ve seen that some of the wholesalers have ‘new business starter kits’. A whole package that they will sell you to get the business going. Is this a good idea?
3) Teas that I should start off with.

I would appreciate any input.

I think to better answer your question, more info is needed.

Who would be your consumers? Are you planning on selling to US only, international, etc.

What type of quality of teas are you looking at selling? Higher quality and therefore most likely more expensive teas?

Are you looking at specializing in a certain kind of tea? ie. pu’erh, or flavoured, etc. Or are you wanting to sell a broad array of types of teas?

What are you looking to provide that other tea companies don’t provide?
