Debate brews over Sri Lankan tea imports
A debate is brewing in Sri Lanka's tea industry over whether to allow imports of foreign varieties. Sri Lankan exporters say blending home-grown tea with external products will help secure a bigger share of the global market. Critics, however, say that the plan will adulterate the famed quality of Sri Lankan teas. Al Jazeera's Minelle Fernandez reports from Nawalapitiya, in central Sri Lanka.

Even a person with little in the way of "disposable income" can appreciate that some products cost more and are not produced for mass consumption. While I save dollars where I can there are some items I will save my money for in order to buy a brand. If your product is exceptional keep it great and do not drop your price point. Many will save up to savour the "luxury".

Blending Sri Lankan tea with cheaper and inferior teas from other countries makes as much sense as Ferrari using a Vauxhall engine.

Please check this tea vendor for example, it is the regular format for a website: uptontea . Ceylon tea is among the most affordable compared to Indian tea for example. I prefer Chinese tea from the Yunnan province. It is very different from the Assam-based teas found elsewhere in the world. Tea Trivia: Argentina is among the world's top tea producers, it gets used for instant tea.
