The tea auction at Chattogram, also known as Chittagong, is a wholesale marketplace described by the Tea Traders Association of Bangladesh, or TTAB. Brokers and lot catalogues organise the trade. Producers need an appropriate route for offering their tea, while packers and blending businesses can compare different raw-material grades. The listed address is TTAB's contact address; the warehouse releasing a purchased consignment must be established separately.

National Brokers' report for Sale 21 on 21 September 2026 describes offerings of 51,892 packages of CTC leaf tea and 10,443 packages of dust tea. These are package counts offered, not quantities sold. They have not been converted into tonnes because the required package-weight information was not established. A single sale also does not represent the full trading season.

Prices can vary with grade, cup quality, season and the particular producing garden. Public National Brokers reports discuss brokens, fannings and dust and describe market direction. A figure labelled Our Catalogue refers to that broker's catalogue and should not be presented as the average for the entire auction. Every comparison needs the sale date and coverage, together with confirmation of the currency and weight basis used for the amount.

Buyers should define the intended blend, desired liquor profile, leaf grade, quantity and packing requirements. Agree sampling and sensory assessment before bidding. Similar commercial grade names do not guarantee identical flavour or performance in a manufacturing process. Enquiries should distinguish domestic purchases from purchases intended for export, since collection and subsequent delivery may require different arrangements with the counterparty. Retaining a sample reference is useful when evaluating whether the delivered lot corresponds to the approved material.

Sellers should approach a broker about cataloguing, sample preparation, storage and settlement. Buyers need to confirm admission, payment and warehouse-release arrangements. Brokerage, packing and transport belong in the purchasing budget rather than being omitted from a comparison of raw tea prices. A weekly report can inform market assessment but neither reserves stock nor replaces quality confirmation. The catalogue number should follow the sample, order and collection documents so that closely described teas are not confused. For recurring supply, keeping records of both sensory performance and delivered cost helps identify which lots meet the blend specification consistently, rather than simply which reported price was lowest.
