Capex covers tea-finishing + retail-pack lines + a small tasting facility. The hard part is building 2–3 estate partnerships at favourable terms — most premium Nilgiri estates work directly with European brand-owners. Demand for Indian single-origin tea is real but channel relationships take 18–24 months to build.
