The Tea Council of the USA

The Tea Council of the USA is a non-profit trade association dedicated to the promotion of tea consumption and the dissemination of scientific research regarding its health benefits. Founded in 1950, the organization serves as a central information hub for the U.S. tea industry, providing education to consumers, health professionals, and the media. A core component of its mission is the Tea Health Research Program, which funds and supports peer-reviewed studies investigating the role of tea's flavonoids and polyphenols in preventing chronic diseases. The Council also hosts the International Scientific Symposium on Tea and Human Health to facilitate the exchange of the latest findings in tea science among global researchers.
