Passage Summary: Even though we see more tea ads and articles lately, a research group says people aren't actually buying more tea than they did twenty years ago, so it must not be getting more popular.

Conclusion: Tea is not actually becoming more popular despite its increased presence in media and advertising.

Reasoning: A neutral polling group has tracked tea sales for twenty years and found that the total volume of tea sold has not changed.

Analysis: To weaken this argument, we need to find a way that tea could be 'more popular' even if the total amount sold remains the same. Perhaps the polling group only tracks grocery stores, while the real growth is happening in trendy tea houses or online. Alternatively, maybe fewer people are buying tea, but those who do are much more passionate about it, which could constitute a rise in popularity. Look for an answer that suggests sales volume isn't the perfect or only proxy for popularity.
