CHINA
In China 茶 , or tea , has been cultivated by hand for millennia, then picked and processed according to specific techniques. Of all the tea producing countries in the world, China offers the greatest variety, including white teas, green teas, blue teas, black teas, smoked teas, matured teas, compressed teas, flavoured teas and crafted teas. The main tea growing regions are found in the central and southern part of China: Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, Henan and Hainan.
Unlike India and Ceylon, where particular teas are labelled with the denomination of the producing estate, Chinese teas are monitored by individuals as well as regional government co-ops, and are consequently named after the specific qualities and flavours of each tea. China houses many hidden tea gardens that produce highly sought-after teas prized by connoisseurs.

FORMOSA
Tea cultivation in Formosa, otherwise known as Taiwan, commenced a mere two hundred years ago, when the first Camellia sinensis from the Fujian province of China were transplanted in the northern highlands. Due to perfect conditions and an ideal climate, the tea plantations in Formosa flourished, and today, Formosa is renowned for its blue tea.
