Production process

The production of the tea products covered under cpc code 23913 involves a series of carefully orchestrated steps. The tea leaves are first harvested, then withered to reduce moisture content. Next, the leaves undergo either oxidation (for black tea) or minimal processing (for green tea) to develop their unique flavors and aromas. Finally, the tea is packaged in immediate containers of 3 kg or less, ensuring freshness and quality for the end consumer.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the tea products under cpc code 23913 include high-quality tea leaves, specialized processing equipment such as withering troughs and oxidation chambers, and packaging materials like foil-lined bags or canisters. Additionally, skilled labor, energy sources, and water are essential for the efficient operation of tea production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 23913 are green tea, black tea, and partly fermented tea products in immediate packings of 3 kg or less. These tea products are then consumed directly by end-users or used as inputs for 23914 Tea, whether or not flavoured, 23915 Mate, and 23919 Other non-alcoholic beverages, among other related codes in the broader food and beverage industry.
