Teas by Country :: China
The Chinese describe tea being drunk as long ago as 2700 BC, but until the Tang Dynasty 618-907 AD it was taken mainly as a medicine. Before the Second World War, China produced half the world's supply and old records tell us that at one time Chinese Tea Merchants recognised 8,000 different grades of tea.
