The rising trend witnessed in the average price at the auctions of Coonoor Tea Trade Association for over a month now continued at Sale No: 33 with the average price soaring to a new all-time high record of ₹ 167.69 a kg – as much as ₹ 18 more per kg in just one week.
Nevertheless, about 97 per cent of the offer was sold because of increased demand from upcountry buyers. Floods in Assam, West Bengal and Kerala affecting the supply of teas from these States and the relaxation of lockdown in some States besides a general improvement in quality helped prices to rise.
