History, tradition and origin
Tea has been drunk in China for thousands of years and spread to Japan, where powdered green tea became the centre of a formal ceremony. The British made black tea with milk a daily habit, and in India it is boiled with milk and spices. Iced tea took off in the United States in the early 1900s, and tea with tapioca pearls was invented in Taiwan in the 1980s.
Food economy and industry
Tea is the most consumed drink in the world after water. China, India, Kenya and Sri Lanka are the main producers, and leaves are still mostly picked by hand. The finest aged and rare teas are sold at prices comparable to fine wine. Bubble tea shops have become a global franchise business.
