   Same typical alarmist tripe.

   From the article, here’s the real problem,

   “A pest called the tea mosquito bug multiplies in damp and cloudy weather and attacks fresh shoots of the tea bush, preventing the plant’s regeneration,” Kakaty said.

   Restrictions on pesticide use because of environmental concerns have added to the planter’s woes. “

   Same garbage as before.

   He said temperatures have risen two degrees in Assam the past eight decades. “We feel this is leading to a shortfall in production,” he said Friday.

   There have been recent news saying that people in India are dying from unusual cold. You would think that would be more important than a slight change in the taste of tea resulting from imaginary heat.
