What is BS 6986-1-Methods for the sampling of instant tea about?
BS 6986 is a British standard on the analysis of instant tea that discusses the methods for the sampling of instant tea to calculate the effects on the processibility, usability, and quality of instant tea.
BS 6986-1 is the first part of the BS 6986 series that specifies methods of sampling instant tea in solid form (hereinafter referred to as “instant tea”).
BS 6986-1 applies to samples from containers of all sizes. Separate methods are described for sampling at the point of manufacture, sampling at subsequent stages in the distribution chain and sampling of retail packs.
In addition, for sampling at some of these locations, different procedures or special precautions are specified depending on whether the samples are to be used for examination of particle characteristics (for example bulk density, flowability, particle size) or compositional characteristics (for example moisture content, ash).

BS 6986-1 on the methods for the sampling of instant tea is useful for:
- Instant tea manufacturers
- Instant tea test personnel
- Food inspection departments
- Food technologists
