| Middle East demand lifts Dubai tea trade
DUBAI: Dubai's tea trading centre DTCC said yesterday it was on target to reach a volume of 5.5 million kilogram this year, up 27.9pc from last year, on growing Middle East demand. The Dubai Tea Trading Centre (DTTC), which is part of the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), is seeking to position itself as a hub for blending and storing multi-origin teas. It said 18.3m kg of tea passed through Dubai in the first two months of this year, up from 16.2m kg during the same period last year. "We are still on target to achieve a volume of 5.5 kg of tea this year, and we have grown significantly during the course of the year," DTTC director Sanjay Sethi said. Last year, a total of 105.5m kg of tea passed through the Gulf emirate, up from 96.6m the previous year.

Everybody is going green. One can say that green is the latest hype doing the rounds. Every one I know has Green Cross shoes, drinks green tea, has a packet of green vitamin herbs next to his desk and bedside, shops at Woolworth's for green organic foodstuffs and takes green lunch at "Medici Bistro and the Bay Leaf Coffee Shop". .
