A quick calculation: The screen at the end of my game said that I alone shipped about 700 billion cups of tea to England in the 9 years I traded. I looked up a few statistics and the population of England seemed to be about 15 Million in 1850. So the average Englishman/-woman/-child consumed about 14 CUPS OF TEA PER DAY. FOR NINE YEARS. Since I surely had some competitioners, we are talking about a serious addiction here. Tsk.
