Mombasa Tea Auction is a regional wholesale tea marketplace associated with the East African Tea Trade Association. EATTA's office is on Nyerere Avenue in Mombasa. The auction connects producers, brokers and buyers, with a trading role extending beyond one city's demand. This directory treats it as one market: individual brokers and reporting channels are not counted again as separate exchanges. The office address is a useful initial contact point rather than an instruction for collecting a particular consignment.

The Sale 43 report for 26 October 2026 records 7,590,239 kg offered and an unsold proportion of 20.48%. These are one Mombasa session's figures, published by Forbes & Walker. Offered quantity must not be read as sold quantity.

EATTA describes a digitised trading process and a system capable of running parallel sessions. Participation requires the appropriate role and access arrangements; viewing information does not confer permission to bid. A new buyer can begin by contacting EATTA and a broker about admission, catalogues, samples and settlement. Establish the actual storage location and release arrangements separately. Electronic participation can simplify bidding, but the tea still needs to be identified, paid for and physically delivered.

The EATTA statistics dashboard distinguishes CTC and orthodox markets, with its price heading expressed in USD/kg. Africa Tea Brokers offers another report source. When reading commentary, distinguish an absolute price from a change: a movement of several cents is not the full price of a kilogram. Also preserve the sale number, because a document may discuss several markets and different reporting dates.

Buyers should specify the desired liquor profile, grade, origin, sample requirements and consignment size. Consistency matters to a blending business, so a similar grade name cannot replace evaluation of representative samples. Sellers should agree lot descriptions, identification, catalogue deadlines and settlement with their broker. A delivered-cost calculation should include warehousing, cargo preparation, transport and payment costs. A session result describes trading conditions rather than a complete delivery offer to an importer's country. For recurring purchases, retain reference samples and lot identifiers so that subsequent quality assessments can be matched to the actual acquisition cost. This also helps distinguish a change in product mix from a genuine movement in comparable prices.
