Yes, Dan, I think this is a shrewd analysis.  Also to pitch into the pot is the groundswell (OK, just a ripple compared with the potential) of US based specialty tea growers and newbie tea growers with their eye on home production of a local, low carbon, sustainable, high quality product.  A few years ago Charleston could claim to be America’s only tea garden – now check out the pins in the map – Hawaii, Washington State, Oregon, California, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida – where next?
