'It's the Champagne of teas' - Highly sought-after tea hits the Irish café scene

In fact, according to statistics compiled by Euromonitor and the World Bank in 2016, we have the second-biggest tea consumption in the world. Sipping an average of 4.83lbs of tea per person each year, we come only behind Turkey, which gets through an immense 6.96lbs per person. So, yes, we love our tea, but can we call ourselves true connoisseurs?
