"Every morning, millions of cups of tea are brewed, sipped and enjoyed worldwide. The global tea trade is vast, with tea second only to water as the most consumed beverage globally, and it is an industry that has always been heavily dependent on manual labour. Kenya is one of the biggest suppliers of tea leaves, employing more than a million tea farmers and pluckers.
