Trouble in a TEApot

from the 'buds, last night

Black tea,  grown in India after the British stole tea plants from China.

The competition now comes from Africa. African teas are grown in the equatorial regions at altitude. This combination of growing factors makes the tea leaves, higher quality.
The cost of tea production is rising faster than demand
India's tea plants are old growth. The plants, now produce leaves lower down on the bush, reducing quality of the leaves.

Who woulda thunk it

Cuppa, anyone
