It's always seemed to me that the price of something so tasty as
Darjeeling tea has been suspiciously low.

I think the appelation needs to do some serious marketing to
differentiate itself better in the broad population.

Yes, I'm saying I want suasion to increase intangible desire and
tangible demand causing the price to go UP. Because the alternative is
that the gardens go to the monkeys and the weeds.

Don't blame or punish the workers. When you see proprietors offering
to cut pay 50% and fire large chunks of the workforce in any business
with well-developed labor division, you're looking at lazy proprietors.

Any idea that tea or Darjeeling tea is losing out to "competition" is
ludicrous. Coffee isn't tea, and other tea isn't Darjeeling tea.
