Adulterated tea: Campaign launched to detect fake or colored tea powder

The Telangana Tea Merchants Association (TTMA) has launched a public awareness campaign to help consumers identify adulterated tea. This comes after a recent raid exposed a tea powder adulteration racket, raising concerns about what residents are really consuming. The campaign aims to educate the public on how to detect fake or colored tea powder, with a focus on price difference as a key indicator. TTMA has also shared methods to identify adulterated tea, such as observing the color change in water or stains on cloth. The association, along with authorities, is working to ensure consumers are informed and protected from substandard products in the market.
