Tea is a beverage made by steeping the young leaves and leaf buds of the Camellia sinensis tea plant in freshly boiled water. The small-leaved China plant and the large-leaved Assam plant are the two main kinds used. These two types' hybrids are also grown. The leaves can either be fermented or not.

The global tea market was valued at US$ Mn in terms of revenue in 2020 and is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period (2021 to 2027).

Tea is the world's second most popular beverage, after only water. All teas come from the same plant, which is often shocking to tea newbies. Camellia sinensis is the scientific name for this adaptable plant. Camellia sinensis is an evergreen subtropical plant originating to Asia that is now planted all over the world. The tea plant thrives in soil that is loose and deep, at high altitudes, and in subtropical climes. In a nutshell, "tea" refers to any beverage made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Anything else is referred to as a herbal tea or tisane, despite the fact that it is occasionally referred to as "tea." Chamomile, rooibos, and fruit teas are examples of tisanes. In a moment, we'll discover more about them.

The tea plant, which grows wild throughout most of Asia, is grown in a wide range of environments, from modest family gardens to massive estates encompassing thousands of acres. The best tea is grown at higher elevations, and on steep slopes are common. These premium teas must be hand-plucked due to the terrain, and one pound of finished tea requires roughly 2,000 small leaves. If that sounds insane, keep in mind that these techniques have been used for millennia. To allow for machine harvesting, many of the teas planted for large-scale commercial production are grown on flat, lowland locations. It should be emphasised, however, that some of the world's best hand-picked teas come from flat fields at lower elevations. As a result, the method of tea cultivation is only one of several things to consider.
