BACKGROUND
India is the world’s largest producer, consumer and exporter of tea. In 1823 tea plants were discovered in India’s north-eastern region in the state of Assam. Fifteen years later the first Indian tea from Assam was exported to Britain in 1838. India ranks with the world’s top four exporter of teas and has complete control over the Darjeeling and Assam orthodox teas Grant, Butler, Orr, and Murray (2014). There are three types of tea which depend on the fermentation that the tea has gone through. Unfermented tea is known as green tea and is the healthiest option of the three. Oolong tea is partially fermented. Lastly there is black tea which is fermented. All types of tea come from the same green plant known as the camellia sinensis.

Interestingly, India is the world’s largest consumer of tea, consuming 25 percent of all global production, the second largest producer of tea accounting for 30 percent of all global tea production and the fourth largest exporter of tea.

(2014).
India has approximately 160,000 small growers who account for 26 percent of India’s tea production. Such proliferation of small growers led
