Coonoor Tea Sales Affected by Weakened Export Demand

Tea sales at Coonoor auctions are down because not as many people abroad want to buy tea right now.

This is partly because it's taking longer to ship the tea, and there are some issues with the tea quality due to heavy rains.

The auction sold less of the leaf tea (75%) compared to the dust tea (82%).

Prices for different types of tea also changed: some went up and some went down, depending on the type and quality.

Overall, the tea market is a little slow right now, especially for certain grades of tea.
