Weak tea: Falling tea prices are expected to weigh on revenue in 2022-23

Tea is a distinctly British beverage, and according to The Grocer, approximately 50 billion cups of tea are consumed per year in the UK. Britons are among the world's biggest tea consumers, with the third highest per-capita consumption, choosing from over 1,200 varieties, according to data from World Bank. Most of the tea consumed in the UK is black tea, made primarily from a blend of East African and South Asian tea leaves. Since very little tea is grown in the UK, the industry is highly dependent on global supplies, which are affected by the weather, currency fluctuations and political conditions.
