Labeling and Transparency
Correct labeling is key for clarity. The regulations require accurate labeling of tea products. Real tea, derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, must
be identified clearly on packaging. For products that are not 'true tea' but are marketed as tea (herbal infusions, fruit teas), ingredient lists are essential. These lists allow consumers to understand precisely what they are consuming. Clear labeling assists consumers in making informed decisions about the beverages they are purchasing. The labeling regulations enforce transparency, so that consumers can easily identify if a product is 'tea' in the strictest sense or a different type of beverage. Accurate and informative packaging helps consumers choose the right product based on their needs, health preferences, and flavour expectations.
