The FBR’s new price hike is set to impact consumers and retailers alike. Tea, a beloved staple in Pakistani households, is now more expensive than ever.

This price increase is expected to have a ripple effect on everyone…from local vendors to your regular tea spot

And yes, that cup of chai you’ve been enjoying every day? It might cost a little more now…

The backlash has been swift, with netizens taking to social media to voice their frustration. Tea lovers are questioning why the price of their favorite drink is going up, and many are worried about the financial strain it’ll put on their daily routines.

One user even quipped: “Banda ab tension mein chai bhi na piyee” LOL

For some, tea is more than just a drink; it’s a lifestyle. Whether it’s your morning pick-me-up or the perfect evening sip, this price hike is bound to leave a bitter taste in the mouths of tea aficionados…
