What the Tea Board Does
The Tea Board of India has many important tasks to help the tea industry. It makes sure that Indian tea is known and loved around the world.
Making Sure Tea is Real
One of the Tea Board's key jobs is to give special numbers to tea that is being sent out of India. This helps to prove where the tea comes from. For example, it helps make sure that tea labeled as "Darjeeling tea" is truly from the Darjeeling region. This stops people from selling fake tea.
Helping Tea Grow and Improve
The Tea Board also works to make sure that tea production is good and grows over time. It gives money to groups that do research on tea. This research helps find new ways to grow tea better and make it healthier. They also look into new ways to package tea to keep it fresh and good for you.
Connecting Tea Experts
The Tea Board helps different groups involved in tea work together. This includes research centers, tea businesses, and government offices. By doing this, they make sure that the tea industry gets the technical help it needs to compete globally.
Where the Tea Board Works
The main office of the Tea Board is in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. This is where most of their work is done.
Offices Around the World
The Tea Board also has offices in other countries. For example, it has an office in Moscow, Russia. These international offices help to promote Indian tea in those regions. They also connect Indian tea sellers with buyers in other countries. Their goal is to help more Indian tea be sold globally.
