Pingli Yiming Tea Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Pingli Yiming Tea Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Shaanxi, with a reported factory area of 210+㎡ and 30+ staff. Based on the available data, the company appears to be a small-scale but operationally verified supplier with basic manufacturing and trading capability. Its platform profile shows relatively solid credibility indicators, including 3 years as a Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance support, supplier verification, Finished Product Inspection, Full Customization, and ODM service availability. Commercial performance is moderate, with 100+ orders and CN¥473.2K+ transaction value over the past six months, supported by a 4.7 store rating and 40+ reviews. Delivery performance is comparatively strong, with a 94.0% on-time dispatch rate. This supplier may be suitable for buyers seeking small-to-medium batch procurement, private label or ODM-supported tea and related beverage products. However, its limited factory scale and moderate review base suggest that buyers should conduct product-specific sampling and confirm specifications before larger commitments.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis

• Company name: Pingli Yiming Tea Co., Ltd.
• Country: China
• Province: Shaanxi
• Factory area: 210+㎡
• Employees: 30+ staff
• Verified supplier / factory verification: True

Elaboration

The supplier reports a relatively small physical production footprint of 210+㎡ and a workforce of 30+ staff. This indicates that the company has basic operational capacity but does not appear to be a large-scale manufacturing base based on the provided information. The presence of supplier verification strengthens its credibility, as it provides a certain level of third-party or platform-backed validation. However, the available data does not include information on production lines, annual output, equipment scale, export volume, warehouse capacity, or factory certifications beyond verification status.

Scoring Rationale

The company demonstrates basic production capability through its stated staff size, factory area, and verified supplier status. However, compared with larger factories, the factory area and workforce suggest limited scale. The verification status prevents the score from falling into a weak-capability range, but the absence of detailed production capacity data limits confidence in handling large-volume or complex procurement programs. Therefore, this supplier fits the category of a small factory with foundational operating capability rather than a medium or large-scale supplier.

Final Score

12 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis

• Gold Supplier: True
• Gold Supplier duration: 3 years
• Trade Assurance: True
• Verified supplier: True
• Certification / industry labels:
• Warranty available
• Finished Product Inspection
• Full Customization
• ODM service available

Elaboration

The supplier has several important platform credibility indicators. A 3-year Gold Supplier status shows that the company has maintained a platform presence for a reasonable period, though it is not yet a long-tenured supplier. Trade Assurance support provides buyers with a platform-based transaction protection mechanism. The supplier verification status and listed service/quality labels further support its credibility. The inclusion of Finished Product Inspection, warranty availability, Full Customization, and ODM service available suggests that the company has built a relatively complete -facing compliance and service profile.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has the core credibility elements expected from a reliable supplier: Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, supplier verification, and multiple supporting service/inspection labels. The main limitation is the Gold Supplier duration of 3 years, which is acceptable but not long enough to classify the supplier as a highly mature long-term platform vendor. The compliance profile is relatively complete based on the submitted data, so the supplier scores in the upper-middle range.

Final Score

17 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis

• Orders in the past 6 months: 100+
• Transaction value in the past 6 months: CN¥473.2K+
• Store rating: 4.7
• Reviews: 40+

Elaboration

The supplier has achieved 100+ orders and CN¥473.2K+ transaction value in the past six months, indicating an active commercial presence on the platform. The store rating of 4.7 is positive and suggests generally satisfactory buyer experience. The review count of 40+ provides some customer feedback base, although it is not large enough to indicate extensive market validation. Overall, the supplier shows stable transaction activity, but the available data does not support classification as a high-volume or highly mature commercial performer.

Scoring Rationale

The combination of 100+ orders and nearly half a million RMB in six-month transaction value reflects moderate and credible business performance. The 4.7 rating is favorable, but the review quantity remains moderate. This supports a score in the stable medium-scale transaction range rather than the top tier. The supplier has demonstrated real buyer activity, but further validation would be needed before placing large or long-term procurement programs.

Final Score

16 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis

• Communication response time: ≤4h
• Full Customization: Available
• ODM service: Available

Elaboration

The supplier’s stated response time is within 4 hours, which is acceptable for international sourcing communication but does not meet the highest benchmark of response within 1 hour. The availability of Full Customization and ODM service indicates that the supplier can support customized product requirements and may be suitable for private label or tailored product development projects, provided that specifications are clearly confirmed. No additional data is provided on dedicated account managers, language capability, sampling lead time, or technical support team.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has a reasonable service foundation due to its response time and customization capabilities. The response speed is not at the premium level, but it is still commercially practical. Full Customization and ODM service availability improve the score because they indicate flexibility for buyers with branding or product-development needs. However, due to the lack of more detailed service performance data, the score remains in the good but not excellent range.

Final Score

8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis

• On-time dispatch rate: 94.0%

Elaboration

The supplier’s on-time dispatch rate of 94.0% is a strong indicator of delivery discipline. According to the provided scoring framework, a rate above 90% qualifies for the 9–10 point range. This suggests that the supplier has generally been able to ship orders within committed dispatch timelines. However, the data does not include average lead time, logistics method, late-shipment reasons, seasonal capacity fluctuation, or performance by product category.

Scoring Rationale

A 94.0% on-time dispatch rate is clearly above the 90% benchmark and indicates reliable delivery execution. The supplier does not receive a perfect score because only one delivery metric is available, and there is no supporting detail on large-order fulfillment, international shipping consistency, or peak-season performance. Still, based strictly on the provided data, delivery reliability is one of the supplier’s stronger areas.

Final Score

9 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis

• Store rating: 4.7
• Reviews: 40+
• Finished Product Inspection: Available
• Verified supplier / factory verification: True
• Warranty available: Yes

Elaboration

The supplier has a positive store rating of 4.7 and 40+ reviews, indicating a generally favorable customer response. Finished Product Inspection and warranty availability provide additional quality assurance signals. The verified supplier status also supports credibility from a quality-control perspective. However, the review base is moderate rather than large, and the data does not include product defect rates, inspection standards, test reports, food safety certifications, third-party laboratory results, or buyer complaint records.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has several meaningful quality assurance indicators, including Finished Product Inspection, warranty availability, verification status, and a good store rating. The review quantity is enough to provide basic buyer feedback but not enough to support a top-tier quality score. Since no detailed certification, testing, or quality-control documentation is provided, the supplier should be viewed as having a solid basic quality framework but requiring further validation for regulated or high-specification procurement.

Final Score

17 / 20

Total Score

Procurement Recommendation

Recommendation: Conditional cooperation recommended.

Pingli Yiming Tea Co., Ltd. is suitable for buyers seeking small-to-medium volume procurement, private label projects, ODM-supported products, and trial orders in tea or related beverage categories listed by the supplier. Its strengths include platform credibility, Trade Assurance support, supplier verification, Finished Product Inspection, customization capability, moderate transaction activity, and strong on-time dispatch performance.

Suitable customer types:
- Small and medium-sized importers
- Private label buyers
- E-commerce sellers requiring moderate MOQ flexibility
- Buyers needing ODM or customized packaging/product support
- Buyers willing to start with sample testing and trial orders

Main risks:
- Small reported factory area of 210+㎡ may limit large-scale production capacity.
- Review count of 40+ is moderate, not extensive.
- No detailed data on production lines, annual capacity, food safety certifications, laboratory testing, or export markets.
- Some product MOQ information appears unusual in the provided data, such as “1000 kilometers,” and should be clarified before ordering.

Growth potential:
The supplier shows good platform credibility, customization capability, and delivery performance. If it can provide stronger production capacity documentation, clearer product specifications, and more quality certification evidence, it may become a stronger candidate for broader sourcing programs. For now, buyers should proceed through samples, specification confirmation, and small initial orders before scaling procurement volume.
