Our study objectives are to examine the tea production and consumption system on the basis of the following dimensions: (1) effects of precipitation variability between an extreme drought that occurred during the dry spring tea harvest season and monsoon tea harvest season on growth and functional quality of tea leaves, (2) tea prices during the dry spring tea harvest season and monsoon tea harvest season, (3) farmer knowledge of climate effects on tea quality and associated management, sensory preferences, and livelihoods and, (4) precipitation trends over the past 40 years as well as forecasted precipitation at the study site.
