Tea

In plain English

This category covers tea, distinguishing between green tea that has not been fermented and black or partly fermented tea. The goods are further divided based on the size of their immediate packaging. Green tea is split into two groups depending on whether the package contains three kilograms or less, or more than three kilograms. Similarly, black and partly fermented tea are separated into two groups based on whether the immediate packaging holds three kilograms or less, or exceeds that amount.
