Tea lovers fear a shortage of their favorite drink.

The much-loved leaf is mainly grown in Asia and East Africa, with China, India, Sri Lanka and Kenya producing around three-quarters of the world’s tea.

But there appear to be supply delays, partly linked to the disruption of shipments through the Red Sea.

Cargo from these parts of the world has been disrupted over the past two months by attacks by Houthi rebels.

In Great Britain, where tea is widely consumed, the shelves have been robbed.

Producers say, however, that the problems are temporary and that it is appropriate to keep calm and continue working.
