Tea trade

The tea trade involves the cultivation, processing, and global sale of tea, primarily grown in countries like China, India, and Sri Lanka. After harvest, tea leaves are processed and packaged for export. International traders, wholesalers, and retailers distribute tea worldwide to meet consumer demand. The price of tea is influenced by factors such as weather, harvest quality, transportation costs, and global demand. The industry supports farmers, laborers, and associated businesses, creating a complex supply chain that connects tea gardens to consumers across the globe.
