A total of 62,325 tons of green tea leaves have been purchased by the government from local farmers so far this year, showing a 10% rise compared with the similar period of last year, the head of Iran Tea Organization said on Wednesday.  
“This amount has cost the government around 3.91 trillion rials [$15.9 million]. Some 48,907 tons of the purchases [79% of the total] are top-quality tea leaves and the remaining 13,418 tons [21%] belong to other varieties of leaves,” Habibollah Jahansaz was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The official noted that out of the overall green leaf production until now, more than 14,000 tons of processed tea have been derived.
