⚠️ Latest Market Signal: Supply Is Recovering, Prices Have Eased From the Peak
In summer 2026, extreme weather in Hengzhou, Guangxi put significant pressure on jasmine flower supply. Heavy rainfall and flooding affected parts of the growing area, causing prices to rise sharply in a short period. As harvesting gradually recovered in August, supply increased and prices began to fall from their peak.
For tea brands, the key lesson is simple: raw-material risk does not always mean a long-term shortage. Sometimes the market can change dramatically within just a few weeks.
For brands selling jasmine green tea, jasmine tea bags, or other jasmine-based tea products, timing can matter almost as much as price.
Buying during a sudden supply shortage may increase production costs. Waiting too long after supply starts recovering can also make it harder to coordinate the next production run smoothly.
What brands really need to know is not simply:
“What is the price today?”
It is:
“Is supply still tightening, or has the market started to recover?”
This is the kind of market movement that HHC Bio-Industry Co., Ltd. watches as part of its herbal tea OEM work.
When a customer is preparing its next jasmine tea production run, HHC Bio-Industry Co., Ltd. can monitor changes in commonly used tea and botanical materials and keep the customer informed when supply conditions change.
When supply recovers, this can give brands an opportunity to review production timing rather than reacting only after raw-material conditions have already shifted.
For jasmine tea projects, HHC can also coordinate tea and flower materials based on the customer's product requirements, then handle tea bag production, packaging, QC and commercial manufacturing.
Jasmine flower supply in Hengzhou has been recovering, but recovery is not necessarily uniform across all growing areas. Weather conditions can still affect harvest volumes and market availability.
For brands planning to replenish or produce jasmine tea in the second half of 2026, the current focus should be on supply recovery, purchasing timing and the production schedule for the next batch.
HHC Bio-Industry Co., Ltd. specializes in herbal tea and dietary supplement OEM manufacturing, supporting brands with raw-material sourcing coordination, product specification review, tea bag production, packaging, QC and commercial production.
