Jamaican Teas Ltd has nearly exhausted the capacity of its rural St Andrew headquarters less than two years after relocating to a facility almost twice the combined size of its previous operations.

The company officially moved its dry pack and tea-packing operations to a 65,000-square-foot facility in Temple Hall, St Andrew, in August 2024, having sold its former Bell Road factory and vacated rented premises on Montgomery Avenue. The Bell Road site spanned 20,000 square feet, while the Montgomery Avenue location had 14,000 square feet, Chief Executive John Mahfood said.

The move was designed to deliver greater production capacity, improved workflow, and expanded export capability — and by those measures it has succeeded. General Manager of Caribbean Dreams Foods Limited Charles Barrett told shareholders at the company's annual general meeting that benefits materialised quickly after the relocation.
