How much IS all the tea in China worth?

While Cecil neatly answered the question of “how much tea is there in China,” he didn’t say how much it was worth.

My admittedly limited knowledge of futures and commodities does not extend to the current price of tea in bulk. Not only that, but I have no idea how much of each variety of tea is produced in China, so I wouldn’t be able to figure this out even if I knew what each was worth.

Any insight?

You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

Peking is now Beijing, and now I guess there’s “T” in China. Tchina, maybe? :wink:

All the tea imported into Japan cost ¥12 billion for 20,000 tons. I’m sure someone smarter than me can do the math.
