Indian Tea logo ' the lady in black & white might become a history

Indian Tea logo ' the lady in black and white with a wicker-basket of 3 tea leaves strapped to her head or tea plucker, may not be seen on the new Indian Tea logo. It might become a history as the Indian government is seeking for a more modern image for the Indian tea abroad that could reflect the country more than the trade.

India tea logo - Tea plucker was introduced back in 1976 to represent and certify tea made in the India.

India, the largest producer of tea, has been sipping tea since the time of Valmiki as mentioned in Ramayana. It's not the largest exporter though as most of its produce is consumed in the country and it's facing strong competition from countries such as China, Sri Lanka and Kenya. India exported 169.3 million kg of tea and had earned a foreign exchange of Rs 2311.13 crore in the first 11 months of 2009, as per media reports.
