The collective trademark is an assurance of the quality of the product. The use of the trademark in the Nepali tea guarantees the organic practices in production process, production environment, processing and packaging of the farm product.

The National Tea and Coffee Development Board, the authority to issue the trademark, said it will start registering the Nepali product in its main market abroad. Germany is the main market of the Nepali orthodox tea.

According to the board, Nepal produces 4,500-5,000 metric tons of orthodox tea annually. Almost all of them are exported to the third countries.
