Unique market insights
Working with Dubai Customs, we provide members access to the latest trade data and analysis, offering them unique market insights that enable them to stay ahead of the curb.
The UAE is the world's largest re-exporter of tea with a major share of the global market, delivering substantial advantages to our members.
Unbeatable free zone benefits
Operating from Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) but with a DMCC licence, DMCC Tea Centre members benefit from 100% business ownership, 0% personal income tax, business-friendly tax environment and zero restrictions on capital repatriation.
Tea packing facilities
Our temperature-controlled tea bag packaging facility can pack both envelopes and service types. Our loose tea facility packs 50g-1kg of crushed, torn and curled teas, as well as orthodox or leaf tea varieties.
Blending services
Our two-tonne drum system can blend both CTC and orthodox or leaf teas. We offer in-house tea tasting and blending expertise, ensuring that our members can develop the best product for their customers.
World-class storage facilities
We provide a free allocation of storage to all our members and we also offer companies the option to lease space within purpose-built premises.
We have been associated with the tea industry for more than three and a half decades. Without DMCC, it would not have been possible to develop our business. DMCC created a unique infrastructure that gives them an edge over other free zones in the country.
