The main tea producing areas in the world where is the largest tea producing area in China and where is the most famous tea

Taiwan, once known as Formosa Formosa during the great voyage, began to plant tea trees about 200 years ago. Chinese mainland's tea maker moved from China's Fujian Province to Taiwan and found the soil, climate and landscape very suitable for growing tea. Tea trees are usually picked five times a year from April to December. Taiwan is famous for its exquisite oolong tea, including Baocai, Alishan, jade oolong tea, amber oolong tea, Tongting tea, oriental beauty tea, milk oolong tea and so on.

Japanese Buddhist monks in the 9th century were the first to drink tea. They learned about tea when their envoys came to China. In 1191, the Zen master Elsa brought the seeds back to Kyoto, which became the basis of Yuzhi tea.

Soon after, tea planting spread all over the prefectures of Japan. In the early days, tea was made by hand, and for centuries, Japanese engineers were able to create incredible machines to mimic the movements of hands.

Today, only special and expensive teas are made by hand. Japan is most famous for its delicious green tea, such as crab roe tea, matcha tea, national tea, Carrigan tea, fried tea, class tea, Houji tea and general wheat tea.

Japanese tea is steamed, unlike Chinese tea, which is fried in a pan; therefore, Japanese tea is greener.

In the late 18th century, a camellia variety with large leaf shape was found in northern India. It took botanists more than 50 years to successfully cultivate this new tea tree, Camellia. Today, India is one of the largest tea producers in the world, harvesting billions of pounds of tea every year.

There are more than 10, 000 tea-producing areas in India, of which about 80% are produced by CTC. There are four tea producing areas: Assam, Darjeeling, Sikkim and Nilgiri. India is best known for its amazing black tea; however, each region produces completely different cup features.

Assam tea is famous for its malt taste and is used in most mixed breakfast teas.

Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, Darjeeling usually has only four picking seasons (first, second, monsoon, autumn), each with its own cup characteristics. Darjeeling Tea is famous for her green and brown leaf appearance.

Sikkim has only one real estate, Tami, which was established in 1969. These teas are similar to Darjeeling Tea, but they are more fruity and full-bodied.

Finally, Nilgiri, as far away as the Blue Mountains in the south, produces a more balanced black tea, which is perfect for making iced tea. India is the birthplace of Chai, a spice drink loved by many Americans.

However, Chai only means tea in Hindi. In India, this kind of tea is correctly called Masala Chai.

Sri Lanka (Ceylon) was a coffee producer until the 1860s, when a coffee rust destroyed most crops, forcing growers to look for new products to grow.

Thanks to the success of the Scotsman James Taylor (James Taylor), the first English tea factory was established in the early 1870s, and he successfully produced black tea in accordance with Indian tradition in the late 1860s. Today, huge tea plantations are distributed in seven tea growing areas: Ruhuna, Kandy, Sabaragamuwa, Dimbula, Uva, Uda, Pussellawa and Nuwara Eliya.

Due to the geographical location of the island, Sri Lanka can produce tea all the year round, with new tea brewing every 80 days. Sri Lanka is famous for its high quality black tea, and all grades of black tea are processed by traditional and CTC methods.

China is rich in six main kinds of tea: White tea, green tea, yellow tea, oolong tea, oolong tea and deep tea (commonly known as Pu'er tea). Tea is produced in 18 different regions in China, and each region produces different types of tea and different cup shapes. There are many famous teas produced in China. For example, Zhengshan race in Fujian Province, Gushu black tea and Pu'er in Yunnan Province, Yingde 9 and Phoenix Dancong in Guangdong Province, Keemun Black Tea in Anhui Province, and so on.
