About this statute

It forbids selling, offering for sale, holding, or transporting for sale as “tea” any product that is not the specified tea product. Tea outer packaging must show the required label details, including the product name and minimum net weight; if there is no package, a public-facing sign must be used. It is forbidden to sell, display for sale, possess, or transport for sale or delivery tea that has certain defects or fails specified quality thresholds. It is forbidden to use the name “The” or a similar name, or words formed from it, to label a product other than the one named in Article 1. This ordinance does not apply to tea produced in Congo Beige or Ruanda-Urundi if it is intended for export, or to medicinal products.
