US President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday that he will continue to pursue his protectionist trade agenda by imposing tariffs, especially on China.  But a new trade deal with China is "possible."  Dialogue or engagement between the president of the United States and the President of China will be important in reducing or delaying the imposition of trade tariffs by the United States on China.  This series of moves will undoubtedly bring a new wave of instability to the Sino-US tea trade.

New York State locks in high-end Japanese green tea at $21.44 /kg, while Virginia buys Argentine black tea in large quantities at a low price of $1.31 /kg.

Why can "green tea high value and low supply" and "black tea cheap and large" grow in parallel? What state is the gold market for Chinese tea companies? What are state preferences for tea imports?
