Tea off the menu for many Pakistanis

Food inflation in Pakistan has been consistently high for several years, and has affected citizens purchase of daily necessities quite badly.

One of those daily necessities is tea - a staple of any pakistani diet.

Under the current government, the cost of a single up of tea has nearly tripled, mainly as a result of rising milk and sugar prices.
