According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tea_consumption_per_capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tea_consu..., Turk

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tea_consumption_per_capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tea_consu..., Turkey is the top tea-consuming country per capita, with Ireland second and UK third. Interestingly, Russia isn't too far off either. I would've assumed Russia to be among the countries with the lowest per capita tea consumption, but these numbers challenge that assumption. I wonder what (cultural?) factors affect those numbers.

Piggybacking off your assumption of Russia having low tea consumption, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_tea_culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_tea_culture is very much a thing.

Pakistan at number 4 and India isn't even listed. Yeah, I'm not going to take that list seriously.

    The linked Statista source itself doesn't match the ranking in the article. And surprise, surprise it does include India

      Acting to fix it would be a better use of one's own time instead of endlessly complaining. I'm going to take a look and fix it myself if you didn't already do it.

I can confirm that Turks do drink quite a lot of tea. When I visit my family, it's Rize çayı with every meal. People visiting? Everyone has some tea. Sitting down for some TV? More tea. Several glasses at a time usually. It might have been just because I was visiting, but if those numbers are true then it probably is because they just drink that much tea.
