Tea export earnings help to finance food import bills, supporting the economies of major tea-producing countries.

The global tea production amounts annually to over USD 17 billion, while world tea trade is valued at about USD 9.5 billion, While little is known about the exact origin of tea, for centuries China was the only tea exporting country in the world until it faced stiff competition from India in the early 19th century. Today tea is grown in over forty countries, but the greatest teas of the world are still grown and skillfully produced by just five traditional tea growing countries, China, India, Japan, Sri Lanka and Taiwan.

​

China

China along with India is one of the two largest producers of tea in the world. It produces greatest variety of teas including green, black, white, yellow, oolong and pu-erh. China produces large amount of green tea, but exports only around 20-25% as the rest of it is consumed domestically. Majority of Chinese tea export include black tea. In China tea is produced over a large part of the country from Hainan Island down in the extreme south to Shandong Province in the north and from Tibet in the southwest to Taiwan across the Straits. The tea growing areas in China can be divided into four main regions- Jiangbei, Jiangnan, Linglan and the Southwest.

India 

India is one of the leading tea producers and is known for some of the best tea in the world. Over 70% of the tea produced in India is consumed within the country itself while the rest is exported. Majority of the tea produced in India is black, although there is an increasing quantity of green, white and oolong coming from the Indian tea estates now. There are three main tea growing regions in India – Darjeeling, Assam and the Nilgiris. Since there is a wide variation in their location, elevation, climatic conditions and even the tea plant used in each of these regions varying from original Chinese stock to indigenous and hybrid tea plants, it is important to know the origin of Indian teas.

Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon is one of the largest exporters of high quality black tea into the world tea market. Tea grown in Sri Lanka is classified into three main varieties depending on the altitude in which the plant grows. The low-grown varieties are cultivated up to 600 meters and yield a strong, dark infusion used mostly in blends; the mid-grown from 600 to 1200 meters and the high-grown, between 1200 to 2300 meters, give the best quality.

Japan

Japan is the only major tea producing country in the world to almost exclusively process only green tea, around 97% of which is consumed internally. Its three major tea-growing regions are Shizuoka, Kagoshima, and Uji. Japanese teas are prepared in three styles – pan-fired, basket-fired and natural leaf. Within these styles there are several quality levels: Bancha, Sencha and Gyokuro. The vast majority of production is the middle quality grade Sencha. In addition, there are other teas like the Matcha which is a powdered green tea used in the Japanese tea ceremonies.

Taiwan (Formosa)

Taiwan was formerly known as Formosa and so Taiwanese tea is still referred to as Formosa tea. Taiwan is famous for its Oolong although it produces green and black teas too. Tea is grown in many areas in Taiwan but the best variety comes from the higher altitudes. Some of the better known Oolongs include Dongding Oolong, Alishan Oolong, Pouchong, Shanlinxi Oolong, Jade Mountain Oolong, Dong Fang Mei Ren, Da Yu Ling Oolong, Li Shan Oolong, etc.

YiFang’s Yakult Ice Tea

Shop : YiFang Taiwanese Fruit Tea Cost : R - £4.35 

description - a cold iced tea mixed with yakult, colour is a cloudy pastel yellow

my order : yakult ice tea, no ice, 30% sugar, no toppings

[ ⭐️⭐️ ]

pros - simple, light

cons - a bit boring tbh, really not worth how much it cost

when I bought this drink, I was heading back from part time work on a Sunday evening with school looming around the corner the next morning. I had bolted my dinner that day as the shop was super busy and the last thing I wanted was to let things fall into disarray so I was feeling a little queasy. I wanted something that was light and simple, and a yakult iced tea and maybe with a topping of grass jelly sounded pretty nice. 

hoWevER. 

indeed the tea was simple, except maybe a little too simple y’know? it really was just some yakult and some tea mixed together and didn’t look particularly appealing either. I also found out I couldn’t add toppings to the drink which was also pretty sad too, but me being headstrong I just went with the order anyway. I wasn't a fan of the taste either, it gave me a kind of dry feeling in my mouth- maybe it would’ve been richer and a bit nicer-tasting had I ordered a slightly higher sugar percentage, but overall, a two stars out of five

Bubble Tea

Catching up with loved ones and listening to our favorite music while we chewed on our tapioca pearls. Much has changed since I was first introduced to bubble tea, but my love for bubble tea has not. The traditional milk tea is my favorite. The sweet, creamy beverage of strong tea, milk and those addictive tapioca pearls is something I crave so frequently. Have you got a favorite flavor of bubble tea?

Practicing Traditional (Taiwan) Mandarin while brewing my favorite tea!

Let me tell you all about my favorite tea of all time. Also figured I'd use this as an excuse to practice Chinese and read the instructions.

大禹陵茶 / dà yǔ líng chá / Dayu Ling Tea

This is an oolong tea that comes from a specific mountainous area in Taiwan, called 大禹陵 (hence the name of the tea) in Taichung at a high elevation (2600m+). It's also called 大禹嶺極品烏龍茶, which is literally: Dayu Ling Highest Quality Oolong Tea.

It's considered a "premium" quality tea. Therefore it's quite expensive, usually $50 (USD) for 2-3 oz of it.

Honestly, it's the best oolong I've ever had. It's no joke, and it worth this price.

Side Note: typically oolong tea is brewed at a temperature lower than boiling, however these instructions imply boiling the water. Online websites recommend brewing this type of tea at 190-195ºF which is typical for oolong teas. My container (that I'm translating from) is directly from Taiwan and says 100ºC (which is 212ºF). However, traditional Chinese tea-making also involves infusing tea 2-3 separate times with special tea sets that I don't have access to. If anyone has more info on this I'd love to learn more!

The Instructions:

壹：茶具用沸騰的熱水沖洗加溫後，放入適量之茶葉再以沸水沖泡即可。 貳：一次的茶葉，可依個人喜好連續沖泡約3～4次。 參：若可便用陶土製之茶具泡茶，其風味更佳。

生詞 / New Vocab：( HSK 5 / HSK 6 )

茶具 / chá jù / tea set, teapot

沸騰（-腾）/ fèi téng / to boil (liquid)

沖洗（冲-）/ chōng xǐ / to rinse, to wash, to develop (film)

加溫（-温）/ jiā wēn / to raise temperature, to heat (up)

適量（适-）/ shì liàng / the appropriate amount

茶葉（-叶）/ chá yè / tea leaves

沖泡（冲-）/ chōng pào / to infuse or brew tea

即可 / jí kě / then can do...; to suffice; equivalent to 就可以

連續（连续）/ lián xù / continuous, consecutive

陶土 / táo tǔ / clay (pottery)

泡茶 / pào chá / to make tea

風味（风-）/ fēng wèi / distinct flavor

Also note that 壹貳參 are archaic/traditional forms of 一二三！

My (very rough...) translation below:

1 : After warming up the tea set by rinsing with hot water, add the appropriate amount of tea leaves, then you can add the boiling water.

2 : (You can brew) tea leaves once, if an individual would like to, (you can) continuously add water and brew 3-4 times.

3 : If a clay tea set is used to make tea, the distinct flavor will be enhanced.

Opened by the ex-chef of Din Tai Fung, Feng Food (台湾味 “丰”) located in Northpoint City is popular for their pork chop fried rice. Brought mum along for an early dinner and some light shopping. Marked the selections on the order chit and proceed to pay at the cashier. My cup of Brown Sugar Caramel Milk Tea (焦糖奶茶) came first with the caramel sauce dripping on the inside of the cup. Just sweet enough with a hint of burnt sugar and so much cheaper (S$3.40+) than those selling at bubble tea stalls.

Mum as usual went for the S$12.80+ bowl of Guan Miao Mian with Specially Marinated Pork Chop (猪排关庙面). The handmade cuts of noodles is firm for al dente with a sliced-up piece of pan-fried pork chop over it. Over at the side, a few slices of pickled cucumber and spring onions for garnish.

My S$13.80+ plate of Shrimp & Kimchi Fried Rice (虾仁泡菜炒饭) came with a fried egg over the fried rice. Underneath were 6 to 7 crunchy and succulent shrimps. The fried rice is mildly spicy with sweetness and there are pieces of kimchi in it. Overall a pretty yummy plate of rice if you were to ask.

On at least one occasion, Matt has woken up, wandered into the kitchen like the ghost of a Victorian child, flicked on the lights and had a minor crisis. He's picking everything up and squinting at it because he can't read anything. How many rips did he take off the bong he can't remember getting out last night? Then he finally wakes up enough to realize he's not brain-damaged or baked, it's just all in Ukrainian and Polish because Katya did the shopping last. And he can read it.
