Abstract: Based on the survey data of 646 consumers, this paper analyzed the impact of consumers' cognition, trust and purchase intention on the traceable tea products by using structural equation model. The results show that consumers' cognition of the traceable tea products had a significantly positive impact on trust and trust had a significantly positive impact on their purchase intention. However, their cognition had a positive effect on purchase intention, but it was not significant. At the same time, trust played a mediating role in the relationship between cognition and purchase intention. Based on the empirical results, the government and tea enterprises should pay more attention to the promotion and guidance of the traceable tea products, enhance consumers' cognition and trust of the traceable tea products, so as to enhance consumers' purchase intention of the traceable tea products.

Key words: traceable tea product, consumer cognition, trust, purchase intention
