ISTANBUL, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- Due to climate change and rising temperatures in Türkiye's Eastern Black Sea region, the fresh tea harvest has been extended into December for the first time, according to local media reports on Thursday.
The Hurriyet Daily News reported that warmer temperatures, above seasonal norms due to climate change, have led to an increase in the harvest period, with producers now collecting fresh tea in four pluckings instead of the usual three.
