The Telegraph reports that the price of a cup of tea could rise by as much as 7% next year, according to analysts, if an anticipated drought in Kenya wipes out the majority of the crop.
The East African country is one of the world’s top five producers of tea – the other four are India, China, Sri Lanka and Indonesia – and over half of Britain’s tea comes from the region. However, the droughts that have affected over 13 million people across this part of Africa have also devastated export crops.
