Is raw black tea comes under flammables?
For storing raw black tea (bulk) in warehouse I need to know under which class of flammability comes raw tea.
Answers:
Besides factors such as geography and climate, the fate of tea is also dependent on human touch. Since all tea comes from one plant, the way it is processed is the artistry we taste in the final cup. If the leaves are immediately dried and then heated (steamed) or fired, the tea leaves remain green, retaining the distinctive flavors and health benefits green teas are known for. If left to wither, the leaves are transformed through a process known as oxidation (also known as fermentation) into black tea, of which there are hundreds of varieties.

*Raw tea as such is not inflammable but if its too dry and set aflame, then it might catch fire just like dry wood shillings !!!!!!!!!!
