Not enough to panic about globally? How about tea?

According to the United Nations, we need to start drinking more tea, or risk widespread economic collapse in developing countries that are tea-producers. The growth in tea-drinkers has lagged behind the growth in tea-production, and nothing less than a global crisis can result.

Wait, isn't that basic capitalist theory: supply and demand?

Sadly, of course, economic theory does not take into account the human factor.

And hey, I go through phases, from coffee to tea to juice to water to... well... maybe it's time to jump-start a tea-phase.
