    		Just an interesting POV of the 'Price of tea in China'

    China is the world's largest producer of tea, churning out 835 metric tons in 2004.

    Because of the low height of tea bushes there (about 2 1/2 feet), Chinese women have a distinct, natural advantage over the usually taller men in harvesting the delicate leaves.

    If the price of tea rises, then, women's value economically stands to as well. And as tea is such a massive crop in China, this could start to equalize the country's male-skewed sex ratio.
