... that New Zealand once consumed more tea per capita than Britain?

Article is new and long enough. Hook is interesting, present and cited in the article, and the rest of the article's sourcing looks good to me as well. Earwig raises no concerns. QPQ has been taken care of. My only (minor) concern is regarding the wording of the hook. The source seems ambiguous as to what New Zealanders drank more tea than people in Britain did exactly means; is it definitely "per capita" or is it just "the total amount of tea consumed by New Zealanders was greater than the total amount of tea consumed by Britons"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PCN02WPS (talk • contribs)

@PCN02WPS: Thanks for the review. I interpret the source as 'per capita' because after the sentence about New Zealanders drinking more tea, it says "consumption declined over time – from 3–3.5 kilograms per person annually". And I reckon that it is unlikely that NZ would consume more tea in total than the UK because in the early 1900s NZ had a population of about 1 million whereas the UK had a population of about 40 million people. ―Panamitsu (talk) 23:12, 27 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

that makes sense, thanks for explaining! We are good to go. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
