Extreme Jelly Belly T-Shirt


You know about the world famous Jelly Belly? Well who doesn't. I was at their factory recently for a tour and like most tours, at the end this leads you to their souvenir shop. I was just browsing around and checking out things that maybe made in Bangladesh. Guess what? I found some of their high-end T-Shirts and Sweat Shirts there with Jelly Belly logo that were made in Bangladesh. I was happy to see Bangladesh made ones were among the better quality products there and not the cheapest ones. Okay now that I have Jelly Belly covered, I will move on to find the next one :)

National Pure CTC Tea


Bangladesh is top 11th tea producing nation in the world based on Wikipedia data. Local consumption is huge also but for poor management it isn't ranked in the top 10 tea producing nations. There are over 150 tea gardens in Bangladesh primarily in Sylhet and Chittagong. It is an export item and the tea on your table may well be from Bangladesh. National Tea is one of many brands of the country.
