Brits worry for their Darjeeling tea
Brits worry for their favorite Darjeeling tea as well as the Japanese and the Germans. The terroir of the so called champagne of the teas is threatened by strikes in India since June.
The tea is grown on 87 farms in the Himalayas in Darjeeling, West Bengal. The tea plantations have 150 year old shrubs.
Half of the more than eight million kilograms of tea is intended for export, mainly to the United Kingdom, the rest is to Europe and to Japan. Sales amounted to 60 million pounds (20.25 billion forints) annually. (MTI)
