I wonder whether it will be China, India or Sri Lanka. As tea is their main drink. So these country plants tea much more. But I am not sure which country products the most tea. I love China

China produces lesser than India and Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka produced more tea in 2002 but besides that its always India I think.

Tea was discovered in China during the legendary period. The word tea comes from the Chinese Fijian dialect word 'teh' for tea. The Indian word for tea "chai" is derived from the Mandarin/Cantonese pronunciation "cha" for tea. Green tea is the least oxidized (fermented) of all oxidized teas. Oblong is 50% oxidized while black teas are the most oxidized. Black teas go on oxidizing for a long time after the process hence they can last for hundred years without going bad kept dry. The best tea leaves are grown in Fijian, China and Darjeeling, India due to the ideal growth conditions in both climates and terrain. The tea plant is the same plant wherever it is grown. The different taste is due to processing methods. But medicinally, the quality should not differ by much. Japanese use their finest tea in the form of tea dust while in Chinese teas, the leaves should be whole and not broken. In Chinese teas, flavored teas like jasmine teas use inferior tea leaves and is not the preferred quality tea. Teas should be tasted fully for their natural flavor hence the Chinese do not add milk or sugar. Japanese too. If you're looking for best tea, you should also check out which part of the plant the leaves come from.

I believe India and Sri Lanka are two nations which produce more tea than any other country in the world. Why do you ask? Do you love tea? Tea has some real good benefits and it tastes nice too :) I love tea.
