Tea off: India's farmers say climate changing brew
Fact Check:
1) Growers in tropical Assam state say rising temperatures have led to a serious drop in production.
2) The rising temperatures are also changing the flavor of the teas.
3) The area in northeastern India is the source of the finest black and British-style teas.
Questions:
1) Are the Indians bitter because of the different taste? Does that mean it tastes bad?
2) Have the sales in their tea leaves dropped?
Extra Details:
The problem I see with this tea dilemma is that there are no facts given about temperature rises. This is all very subjective and while it could be true that the temperature has been rising, the proof is not given. It would be horrible to make a signature tasting tea leaf that is not as potent due to the climate.
