China produces more than 2 million tons of tea, making it the largest tea producer in the world. Tea is an important part of the national social structure and plays an important role in economic development and daily life. China is famous for its wide variety of tea, with popular varieties ranging from green tea to black tea to oolong tea. Drinking tea also has a vibrant culture, paying special attention to the taste of tea and the environment for drinking tea. The legend of tea even mixed the concepts of philosophy, ethics and morality.
2. India
India ranks second with 6.5438+200,000 tons of tea production. Many years ago, a silk caravan first introduced Indian tea to Europe from China. Despite this early connection, it was not until the British officially introduced this drink into culture that it began to flourish. The climate of this country is very suitable for planting plants, and the quality of its tea is comparable to that of China. The British intend to overthrow China's monopoly on tea production by planting tea in their precious colony, India. Besides, like China, tea is an important part of daily life in this country. India's tea market is huge, with tens of thousands of tea gardens distributed throughout the country, including darjeeling, Assam and other popular varieties. More than half of the tea produced in India is consumed at home, which actually makes this country a country with a population of 654.38 billion.
3. Kenya
Kenya is the next country on the list, with a total output of 432,400 tons of tea. When it comes to tea, many people don't think of Kenya for the first time, but in fact, Kenya is the world's largest exporter of black tea, with more than 500,000 Kenyan small farmers growing tea. Its location near the equator provides sufficient sunshine and the best conditions for planting plants. The first Kenyan tea tree was planted in/kloc-0 in the early 1990s.
4. Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is the fourth largest tea producer, and its citizens grow 340,230 tons of tea. It is one of the largest orthodox tea exporters in the world, especially famous for Ceylon tea, so named because the country was called Ceylon by colonists in the past. Although the country initially produced more coffee, it turned to producing tea after an epidemic destroyed their crops. At present, tea is the main foreign exchange transaction between the country and other countries, and tea production accounts for 2% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).
5. Vietnam
The top five is Vietnam, which produces 2 1.43 million tons of tea. Tea is deeply rooted in culture. Although tea has been a part of Vietnam for many years, it was not until a.d.1880s that French colonists established tea gardens in the northwest of Hanoi that this country began to produce its own tea. Vietnamese tea drinkers usually prefer simple tea with little taste, among which green tea is the most popular variety. Lotus tea is also a specialty of Vietnam. Seal the green tea leaves in lotus flowers and let them stand overnight to make the lotus leaves blossom.
