It's strange to me how low India is on the list. As an Indian all the Indians I know drink huge amounts of tea. Might just be an economics thing-- they can't afford to buy as much tea as they'd like to. That or it's something to do with the way the stats are collected

Actually, tea is about as cheap as clean water there. I commented separately, but tl;dr I think local tea consumption in countries that produce tea is being massively undercounted.

As an Indian living in the Netherlands, I suspect you're correct. Coffee is drunk here similar to how tea is drunk in India, and the Netherlands is the top #1/2 in per Capita coffee consumption. However, tea in India is often tied to a routine (eg time of day) while here it's more of an opportunistic thing (after a big meeting in the break).
