    both sellers and buyers of tea are made worse off.

    Explanation:

    When a tax is levied on sellers of tea, both sellers and buyers of tea are made worse off.

    The truth about tax burden or incidence of tax is that when a tax is levied on a product, the sellers of that product try as much as possible to transfer some of it to the buyers by increasing the price of the product.

    The extent to which they can do so depends on the price elasticity of demand for the product.

    People will not possibly stop drinking tea because of its price, the worst that can happen is to reduce the amount of tea they drink; when tea becomes more expensive
