There are other traditional and non-traditional states where tea is produced in small extents viz. Tripura,
Karnataka, Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram,
Nagaland, Sikkim, Odisha and Bihar. Tea production in smallholding has been growing in India and
worldwide.
The Tea Board of India has recently decided to approve setting up of mini and micro factories by the
small tea growers within their plantation areas, in order to improve plucking standards and retain natural
garden freshness. This would help in improving the quality of processed tea from green leaves of small
tea gardens. Usually, as the time needed for transporting green tea leaves from the gardens to factories
will be reduced. It will also help retain the garden freshness of the green leaves.
The Tea Board, which has defined 'micro' as factories having capacity of upto 200 kg and 'mini' as
factories having processing capacity of upto 500 kg a day, has also decided to provide 40 per cent
subsidy on the cost of plant and machinery to such growers. The small tea growers will have to obtain
biometric cards to avail the various benefits offered by the Tea Board. Small tea growers can set up mini
tea processing factories, which may reduce tension of marketing of green leaf. Besides this, unemployed
youths also can grab the opportunity to set up mini-factories on the support of financial institution. The
mini and micro factories will open up a huge chain of employment opportunities at the garden level.
This project profile is for setting up of a Mini Tea Factory with installed processing capacity of 100 Ton of
Processed Tea, based on 200 working days per annum and 8 working hours per day 1.

Bihar Economic Survey 2019-20
1. Background
Tea is India's primary beverage with almost 85% of Total households in the country consuming
tea. Demand supply gap has been increasing in India in recent years. While tea consumption has
been growing at 3-3.5% every year, there has been no significant increase in plantation land in
the last few years as per the market survey report. Tea trading in India is done in two ways -
auction and private selling. Market reports are obtained from six major auction centres in India -
Kolkata, Guwahati, Silguri, Cochin, Coonoor and Coimbatore where bulk trading is carried out
through the suctions held in these centres.
The Cottage made CTC Tea has great demand among the consumers due to its special
manufacturing process, which imparts its quality and aroma. Besides, cottage organic Tea (CTC
and Orthodox), Green-Tea may be produced, which has great market potential. Therefore, few
cottage tea factory could be set up in concentrated tea growing areas that will have a steady
market for its products.
• The main benefits of tea: High in Antioxidants, authentic taste and are comparatively
more rich in flavor and colour.
• Processing of Hand Crafted Tea: Sorting the leaves by grade, Spreading out to wither,
Shaking in woven bamboo baskets to bruise leaf edges and speed up oxidation, drying
and pressing the leaves in a wok over a fire, hand-rolling the leaves, pressing wet leaves
into cake molds or presses and sewing leaves together.
• Potential Enterprises: Teabags, loose tea, compressed tea, Instant tea, bottled and
canned tea, processed tea for industrial use (cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food
processing, etc.)
Market Promotion plays a vital role for the generation of the potential customers therefore,
application of marketing strategies are recommended. Marketing plan of the proposed project
may include good quality maintenance, promotional campaign like offering special discounts,
referrals, advertisement and tying up with buying houses.

4. Project Description & Flow Sheet:
The process of manufacturing CTC tea comprises of the following different process.
• Spreading the leaf on Withering Trough: The collected Green Leaf is spread upon the
withering trough, while spreading due emphasis is laid upon to remove source and old dried
leaves so that it will help to minimize the presence of stalks and help in producing fine tea.
• Withering: The process of withering involves partial removal of moisture from fresh leaf and is
carried out in order to condition the leaf physically for subsequent processing. Besides, some
chemical changes also take place during withering and these are independent of the physical
process. Thus, withering involves (a) Physical wither and (b) Chemical wither. While the physical
wither can be completed even in 3-4 hours, however for completion of the chemical wither, a
period of 12-16 hours is required as such the withering trough can't normally be used more than
once a day. Withering is carried out either by Natural Withering or by Trough withering system.
The green leaves that are spread upon the wire mess of withering trough are charged with cold
and warm air through an axial flow fan so that the moisture content is reduced to the desired
level. Generally, the level of reduction in moisture depends upon the grades and quality of tea,
which is to be manufactured.
• Rolling / Rotorvane: The withered leaves are rolled to rupture the leaf cells and release of
enzymes and to give a twist to the leaf. It is achieved by processing withered leaf in Rotorvane.
During rolling operation chemical changes among the principal constituents of leaf start as soon
as the juice of leaf is squeezed out in contact with the air. The chemical changes are caused by
the enzyme present in the leaf. The enzyme brings about chemical changes, but it does not
change itself. Generally, leaf is rolled in Rotorvane before send to further processing.
• Operating on C.T.C Machines: After the leaves are rolled, they are put into the C.T.C machine
(i.e. cutting, tearing and curling machine). This machine cuts the leaf into uniform size with
maximum cell distortion leading to quicker and more even oxidation during fermentation. The
C.T.C machine is comprised of two rollers rotating in opposite directions at the arranged speed.
The speed of the two rollers are different, one of the roller is fast rotating at a speed of around
675 revolutions per minute, whereas the slow roller rotates at a speed of 60 to 73 revolutions per
minute. Generally, a constant clearance between the rollers is maintained. The roller segment is
in sharp condition, which cut the leaves three times. During the process it is specifically seen that
leaves are not heated as it destroys briskness and quality.
• Fermenting: After processing in the C.T.C machine the leaves are fermented. Fermentation of
the tea leaf is a very important process in Tea manufacture for briskness, strength, colour and
quality largely depend upon it. The duration of fermentation varies according to rise and fall of
temperature. A temperature of 76'F to 78'F represents the ideal temperature of the fermenting
room and it takes roughly between 1 to 2 hours in the fermenting process. The leaf processed in
C.T.C is spread on the fermenting floor or fermenting bed of fermenting machine. Generally, they
are spread at a thickness of half an inch. Fermentation begins as soon as the juice of the leaf
come in contact with the air, enzyme present in the leaf bring about chemical changes among the
constituents of the leaf cell such as latechins (polypheno's) and caffeine. When the leaf become
bright red in the fermenting room it is the best time to transfer to the drying room for firing.
• Drying: After the requisite level of fermentation CTC leaf is transferred to the drying room where
the leaf is fed on the trays of mechanical dryers and fermented leaf is fired at an inlet temperature
of 200'F to 220'F to arrest fermentation process and to remove additional moisture present. The
exhaust temperature being 120'F to 135'F.
The thickness of spreading of CTC leaf being one fourth of inch. The fair revolution of the quality
drying machine should be 350 and the tray speed is 200. The final moisture contained of the tea
is kept at around 3%.
• Sorting: The sorting process of the CTC leaf is very simple. At first tea is allowed to pass through
the sorter for separation of grades, during this process tea is also made free from any foreign
material, fibre and other proper grading which depend largely on size (granule) of tea. After
grading tea is packed in tea chest/jute bags of standard size and sent to the auction centre.
Manufacturing Process
5. Procurement strategy of raw material & other inputs
Unknown to many, Bihar is home to commercially produced tea with the same being produced in
Kishanganj and nearby districts and Kishanganj being the lone district in the State with largest area under
tea plantation. The total cultivated area under tea is about 10,000 ha with a production of around 10,000
MT. Hilly terrain, cool climate, favorable soil quality and natural drainage system are some of the key
features of the region which supports tea cultivation. Presently there are 9 tea processing units (one
owned by government and rest being privately owned).
The total cultivated area under tea is about 1,600 Ha spread over three blocks, viz., Pothia, Thakurganj
and Kishanganj. Hilly terrain, cool climate, favorable soil quality and natural drainage system are some of
the key features of the region which supports tea cultivation. Unit has proposed to procure tea leaves
from Kishanganj and adjoining districts.
6. Marketing strategy
The rising number of health-conscious consumers of green tea and tea leaves is giving a boost to tea
industries. Today markets are flooded with a large variety of tea juices. The main reason for increased
consumption is rising level of health consciousness among consumers. Factors like preferred choice of
easy availability, convenience, naturalness and marketing strategies have given tea industry a booming
growth.
With changing lifestyles and increase in disposable incomes, the demand for tea is ever increasing.
Besides consumption in the households, it is served in hotels, restaurants, clubs, airlines, railways, local
tea stalls etc.
Quality should be emphasized at each step right from the beginning to the marketing of the Product. Over
the years, an image of high-quality products should be cultivated. The effectiveness of distribution
coverage and practice is of paramount importance in achieving the desired sales. Understanding of the
distribution channels is crucial for the manufacturer to plan and implement an effective distribution
strategy. Distribution network should be given extra emphasis. Market share could be gained by
enhancing retailer, and distributor margins.
Promoters would appoint distributors in targeted towns of Bihar and surrounding states like West Bengal,
Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh. Contacts with retailers of similar kinds will be made and products would be
sold in the market with help of them. The product made in this unit will be in the line with top range of
products with better quality at the same time cost effective. Company would be sharing more profits with
the distributors and retailers.
Company will also explore possibility of marketing their produce to retails shops like Big Bazar, Reliance
Trends, Malls etc. It will also try to partnership with local and other hotels and restaurants with good offers
to attract demand of its product. It is assumed that due high quality, cost effectiveness and aesthetic
packaging, sale of products may not face much problems.
