Tea Board Revises Auction Rules for Fairer Tea Prices

The Tea Board, which manages tea auctions, has changed its rules.

These changes follow advice from a committee called the Ramaseshan Committee.

The main idea is to make tea prices fairer, especially for those who buy tea leaves.

Starting July 1st in South India, the rules about how tea samples are given out are changing.

Now, tea sellers will decide who gets free or paid samples.

The Board is also looking at using a third party to collect samples, but this will happen later after talking to people in the tea business.
