Tea Management

The demand for tea far exceeds supply, all over the world. As the additional tea plantation acres grow every year, the demand for human resources to man and handle them with professional expertise increases tremendously. Hands-on training is the best way to start and progress in this field. Tea associations and the Tea Board of India offer lucrative positions to the talented.

An experienced tea planter can move into tea brokerage or tea tasting or take up a job in a tea broking house. Very senior professionals can branch off into becoming consultants offering advice on the varieties of tea to be planted, new varieties and their sources, recruitment and training of personnel, compensation, benefits and incentives to labor etc. and academically inclined people may get into research positions open at many tea plantations. They have to be trained to make their palates proficient enough to register even the minute differences. There are a number of Institutes providing training in Tea management. These institutes teach tea production to processing, finance, marketing and sales where tea tasting forms part of the curriculum.
