Abstract :
Indian instant tea is exported to 23 countries. Among those countries USA accounts for about 71 percent of the total followed by Switzerland 9 percent, Canada 6 percent, Italy 5 percent, etc. It is interesting to note that instant tea is gaining popularity in United Kingdom, France, Austria, Netherlands, UAE, Japan etc. it can be seen that although tea production has been dealt with by many researchers, there seems to be dearth of research work related to this in India. Considering the importance of tea industry in South India particularly in Nilgiri District, in terms of income, foreign exchange earnings and being a significant employment provider, it seems essential to undertake the study.
