Tea Board Mandates Ballometric Method for Leaf Trade

Tea Board Mandates Ballometric Method for Leaf Trade

The Tea Board has told tea manufacturers to use a special method called the ballometric method to measure the quality of tea leaves.

This is to make sure that small tea growers get fair prices for their leaves.

The manufacturers and growers will both sign a register to keep track of the sales.

The Tea Board will check these registers to make sure everything is fair.

The price of green leaves has been very low, which has made the small growers unhappy.

The Tea Board says this new method will help fix the problem and make the tea trade better.
