I hope for the best as well, however- we will experience an El Nino soon. The El Nino is going to cause a temporary shift in weather patterns- causing Southeast Asia (which is typically quite humid) to dry up a bit. Also there probably won't be too many typhoons to make landfall this season either. I'm sure it will effect the tea production- but to what extent I cannot be sure. No worries, El Nino is a perfectly natural weather phenomena that is to be expected to happen once in a while. Things will be back to normal sometime in 2010 I'm sure.
