The Tea Board of India has taken firm steps to protect and enhance the image of Indian tea globally, and to ensure that only tea worthy of the tagline ‘Indian tea’ is exported. This comes on the backdrop of various quality issues that have cropped up in recent years.
Effective
February 1st, 2013, no teas can either be exported from or imported into
India, without conforming to FSSAI parameters and teas would be subjected
to random testing. The Tea Board of India has established a Tea Council of
North India and one for South India, under its direction, to put in place
an online mandatory mechanism to track all exports and imports of tea and
ensure that quality norms are enforced. The mechanism, being designed by NSE-IT
will be hassle free and paperless. Details would be posted on the website of
the Tea Board from 01.1.2013.
