Solution

The correct option is C

artificial colour


Tea leaves which were damaged during the manufacturing process or are of inferior quality are treated with various colouring agents to improve their appearance. The main adulterants are prussian blue, turmeric or indigo. These synthetic colours can result in stomach related disorders.
