Here is what most interests me in tea…
I guess pretty much all aspects of Tea fascinate me. From its impact on people’s lives as they grow and produce it to the impact on consumers lives as they discover and enjoy tea. One of the things that attracted me to this industry is the fact that even after thousands of years, Tea is still evolving. It gives us something to learn each and every day.
My comments on the most critical threats/opportunities facing the tea industry globally.
Rising Production Costs & Labor Shortages
- The actual price of tea to the consumer is very low. Especially considering what producers and workers are able to charge.
