India, the largest producer of tea in the world after China, has come up with fresh guidelines to its growers to improve quality, so that it can remain globally competitive and sustain the domestic consumption.
The Tea Board had advised the tea growers to refrain from plucking before first flush this year for maintaining quality. As part of its overall inspection, if the planters were adhering to the guidelines, Tea Board would draw random samples from tea factories and from stocks of packet and bulk tea stored in warehouses.
Those teas which fail to conform to the standards shall be treated as tea waste and destroyed. Stringent action would also be initiated against the manufacturers or licensee as per the provisions of the Tea Act including suspension or cancellation of license.
Tea Board, as the apex body for the tea industry, has undertaken several measures to maintain the quality of Indian tea by issuing directives from time to time to the tea producers, buyers, packagers and others to ensure that best quality teas were manufactured during the first flush season.
