Which nation drinks the most tea per capita?

Turkish tea is an important part of Turkish cuisine, and is the most commonly consumed hot drink, despite the country's long history of coffee consumption. In 2004 Turkey produced 205,500 tonnes of tea (6.4% of the world's total tea production), which made it one of the largest tea markets in the world, with 120,000 tons being consumed in Turkey, and the rest being exported. In 2010 Turkey had the highest per capita consumption in the world at 2.7 kg. As of 2013, the per-capita consumption of Turkish tea exceeds 10 cups per day and 13.8 kg per year. Tea is grown mostly in Rize Province on the Black Sea coast. Source

Turkish is a nation now?

The answer is "Turkey", not "Turkish".

Turkey is actually the largest consumer per capita at nearly 7 pounds per person per year.

Steve Braccini, Rosie is a Quizzclub Clone who gets a pass on review. That's why the greatest number of discrepancies are those concerning entries from Clones.

Leapy Lee, Turkey is an acceptable spelling in the English speaking world, much the same way we say Germany instead of Deutschland and Munich instead of München.

I knew this entry was from a Quizzclub Clone when I realized that the options don't suit the question. Had this gone through review, the options would have correctly been changed to: England, Indonesia, China, and Turkey. Alas, the Clones always get a pass and are allowed to avert scrutiny, so we get sloppiness such as this.
